Nameless

“We’re not the body, we’re not this ~
Who we are, is love, light and bliss”
            ~ quote by poet


If asked what’s the name of our soul,
which lives on after body dies,
what definition would console
ego, that thrives on blatant lies?

Made in God’s image, we are light,
which is seen by spherical sight
but since we have with ego slept,
truth of our soul, we don’t accept.

It's another indologic truth. Soul defied by the ego. Beautifully written in just eight short sentences. Congratulations!

So true, those last lines, couldnt have said it any better, when inflated ego takes over, one cant see beyond to accept truth. I love this one and your quote too is brilliant.

Thank you, IE. I thought multiple stanzas were allowed, which I would have preferred but apparently this form has only two.
