The Silence of the Soul

She listened to the silence of her soul
	  that dwelled within.
Choices made twixt good and evil thus
	  the challenge would begin.
There could be no easy pathway as she
	  travelled on her way.
The eternal pulse of nature as it turns 
	  night into day.

While the mighty forms of nature are
	  filled with conflict and pain.
There are always storms and thunder before
	  comes the gentle rain.
As the tiny bees and flowers are destined
	  to live and die.
On her path, she should not linger
	  only stop to question why.

As moments build together on her
	  way to eternity.
She should never be contented, with no
	  purpose, to just be.
Life was meant to motivate the heart with
	  both the good and bad.
Behind the black clouds they’ll be sunshine
	  and clear skies to be had.

She knows all these things give meaning
	  and will help her on her way.
As her private nature takes her from
	  her long night into day.
Silence builds between the spaces of the
	  trials within the soul.
Always listen to the peace it brings
	  and let that be your goal.
