Shape Shifting Soul

Like a stretch of sand on the shore 
My soul has a delta and core 
Like pair of feet that dances with tides
Sometimes it walks, sometimes it rides 

It's a cup where wisdom is filled 
But where too much that flows is spilled 
Like a rain, it falls to be flood 
In veins, it runs to be blood 

It's like water that becomes any form 
When going with the flow is the norm 
Like a cloud it becomes white or gray 
Then, the shine in its smile greets the day 

Sometimes black like the cloak of the night 
For, at times, in dark days, it needs a light 
It needs flame of wisdom to show its way 
But at times, on its own, bends to pray
