Notes About The Poem

The Need

The soul
Stained, soiled, dirty
Mucky, stinky, coated 
Deeply corrupt, sullied, ruined
Redeemed

Hi Sara, I have been away for a while . . . love this poem. In the decay there is life working at the micro level, this life, is resurrection life, from death to life!! Nicely done. 7
