Shape Shifting Soul

There is but one to whom young or old does not apply.
There is but one who remains and never changes.
There is but one who had a life before birth.
There is but one without beginning of days.

From the point of being just a thought, there
Followed a personal plan and purpose for me.
Before this, there was nothing of me in existence.
It was then that I was initiated into the mind of God.

Neither angel nor another life-form was I; neither was
I an entity nor yet a little god. Just human was I of the
Noblest kind, made to blossom and shine for God's glory.
Although mortality till now is all that I have experienced,

A new heavenly form awaits me when immortality shall be cast
Upon my finite being, and I shall then embrace eternity. This
Soul of mine, having been cleansed and redeemed by the Almighty,
Shall be forever holy; no longer subject to aging, time, or sin.

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 30, 2024 at 9:56 AM Dear Curtis, What a deeply philosophical and spiritual exploration. The metaphysical concepts transport me to realms of eternity and divinity. You deftly ponder the soul's journey from conception to immortality with both reverence and insight. This piece radiates wisdom and a transcendent understanding of our existence. A thought-provoking, awe-inspiring work that elevates the mind and spirit. - Blessings, Daniel
