Notes About The Poem

The Soul Within Us All

Artifacts of artistry 
Approach a blurred mind trembling
And we will go remembering 
When youth was our despair.
On steeds of deeds a galloping, 
Surrendering to luck
From life we plucked 
A pear or two 
With lips pressed dripping, 
Sipping only time. 
We made it rhyme, by God 
We made life fine.
And on the sands of Israel 
Beneath the twilight sky
We found our Babylon 
Within a newborns cry 
And all of us, each one 
Is not alone; 
The light that is the soul of us
Still burns where love is shone.
