The candle of inspiration

Between the body and soul is the mind
between the mind and the body is intelligence
imagination to the mind brings
life into the world
and to introspect into the mind
adds to the fulfillment of the desire

life is a dream between birth and death
as the clouds over the mountain
lies between heaven and the floor below
the feet that persevere knowledge
will reach the edge of the shore
where the waves from the ocean
creates a cemetery on the sand

between knowledge and ignorance
between darkness and light
the opportunity exists to choose
between wrong and right
what is this body
without a soul but only an empty vessel
to leave behind
the winds of change will come
and the buds will spring again
to blossom with the wind

what is this soul without a body
can one prove it's a ghost
it's an illusion of the mind
to believe what is untrue
the magnet of inspiration
symbolizes truth
which is the source of energy
for life to flow
where beyond the horizon
when the sunset will disappear
above in the heaven
the soul will glow.
