Soul

Who really can define a term such as beauty?
Let’s digress, what has beauty in world?
Clear sapphire water cascading down on rocks 
below and rainbow appearing in the mist.
Driving on a road and seeing the reddish and 
orange sun kissing the clouds goodnight.

As summer begins the first flowers that range from 
the sky blue” forget-me not” to the simple dandelion 
gather around with the multiple colors of the earth.

As the cherry blossoms silhouette, I see the wind carrying 
the leaves into a graceful dance around the tree.
Out of all of nature’s beauty there is only one that is
able to sustain it and that vision is woman.
With hope and a little prayer, woman is the soul.
In time a man can possess the traits of a mate.
Here I am a mate without a soul.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
