Where Does Our Soul Live

WHERE DOES OUR SOUL LIVE

WHERE DOES OUR SOUL LIVE
IS IT TRAPPED IN OUR HEART
IT’S JUST A MUSCLE
THAT PUMPS BLOOD TO EVERY PART

WHERE DOES OUR SPIRIT RESIDE
IS IT TRAPPED IN OUR BRAIN
IT’S JUST A FLESH COMPUTER
THAT ALLOWS THE BODY FREE REIGHN

WHERE DOES OUR ETERNAL ESSENCE LIE
IS IT TRAPPED SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE
OR IS IT A COMBINATION OF CELLS
IN WHICH THE BODY RELIED

I CAN NOT ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
IF IT’S THE HEART OR THE BRAIN
I SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW
WHERE OUR ESSENCE REMAIN

FOR ME, I THINK IT’S SEPARATE
FROM ALL OF OUR PARTS
YET I THINK IT’S THE TOTAL
OF OUR CELLS, BRAIN, AND HEARTS

I KNOW IT’S CONFUSING
YET SIMPLE, YOU SEE
LEAVE ALL THIS TO GOD
HE IS THERE TO SET OUR SOULS FREE

Thank you for your kind comment. I like how you summed up who and what is done with our souls in this poem. It is so true. Very spiritual.

Very good dissection of what it is really like, Timothy. BTW, there is a typo in verse 2, the last word "reign."

Your feelings come through strong and straight from the heart where most good poetry is born. Your words play within our hearts and their magic comes alive filling us with faith in God. Emile.

Love the deep thoughts here.. I believe it is the part f us that is "life", and can never know death.. The part that is in him... "I am in you and you in me"... He (God) never dies, so that part of us can't either... Hugs, my friend... Arlene

so as with poetry, perhaps an answer is unnecessary, if our soul (spirit) lives it can never die... if our spirit always was it always will be... now is eternity Jim

What a deep and thoughtful write....We read in the beginning to that God breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life and man become a living soul. I believe that only God knows the miracle of how that happened. I also believe that when we die...our bodies return to the soil, and our breaths back to the Creator. When Christ comes again...THEN we will receive immortality. :) My thoughts on this dep write. My Daddy was a pastor...

One of my biggest fear is that one day man will find answers to questions like where is god, and where is the soul. We were not meant to know some of these things. I hate to think what we would do with knowledge like this.
