of souls by souls for souls

"of souls by souls for souls"

what is a soul that lives inside
unless unveiled no one can see
gentle yet strong with endurance
this the basis of souls

where is a soul without protection
until nurtured it will never breathe
born to only one soul one you
this the basis by souls

why is a soul capable of a voice
whispering live a life of peace
surround oneself within beauty 
this the basis for souls

let it be said written and done
get to know the one and only you
stay true to the light you carry
this the basis of by and for souls

Hi Lisa my friend, you seem to have a deep connection to your soul, and hence you can guide us on the path to ours. . I find my connection whilst we sit quietly in our lovely garden - nature seems to call me whether here or in the wild of the beckoning bush at the Kruger park. Blessings and love Jennifer.

Beautiful words and meanings which resonate with me dear Lisa. “Get to know the one and only you” for with this knowledge we can truly love others . It starts with the self . “Stay true to the light you carry “ Deep and poignant. Hugs and blessings to you this Thanksgiving day weekend and always. Susan :)

Every human has that back up in time of need, ''the soul'' keeping us safe and sometimes changing our direction. Even in death, the energy may continue.
