Shape Shifting Soul

"Here I am in human form but it was not always quite so
earth is not the only planet I’ve been to
through past life regressions, I definitely know"


I can hear the chiming of my soul at large 
ding dong clang it goes all night and day 
Cinderella in a pumpkin carriage 
no glass slipper in this lifetime's array

I can feel the earth beneath my bare feet 
it is the foundation of my courseted life 
bound by body but not by soul design
I can shapeshift and loosen all my strife 

I am made of flesh and bone but spirit too 
so when it comes to lifetimes I can have a few 
this outer casing one day I will surely lose 
as I recall the move of an everchanging pew

I am zealous and devout carrying much clout,  
but when I shapeshift, I always find another route.

Wow! You are brave...not easy topics for one poem -- yet you do so admirably. Inspirational: (Fragments) This life is but one of many -- for I am a many, experiencing as one; This love is all love in one -- while greater love is the many, loving as one -- time is a certain time, with innate memory of when time was timeless, as the soul re-forms for it yearns -- rejoining the many, recalling all the many, that the many~ is our blessed one --
