Where the Soul of the Soul Does Reside

Is this the place of the deepest depth?
Does the void also have an abyss?
Can one go so far down underneath
that looking up IS looking down-
"Where is this?"

Is this the place where sound can't be found
and velvet darkness is considered bright light?
Do we go there by just closing our eyes
when we lie down to sleep at night?

Is this the place where we seem to float
suspended in endless peace?
Is this the place with cessation of thought
so imagination and creativity can increase?

Is this the place where memories come forward,
opening and revealing the past,
or is this the place where we see ourselves
from day of birth to the day that's our last?

Is this the place where we have the sense
of having done this before?
The place with the sense of "deja vu",
a sense that's difficult to ignore?

Is this the place that's so far removed
there is no knowledge of daylight,
or is this the place that knows of no time 
whatsoever....
a place of timeless twilight?

Is this the place where dreams originate
and nightmares sometimes get their start?
Is this the place where we touch hands 
with GOD,
and feel HIS touch within our hearts?

Wherever it is, I do know this-
it is within.... 
SO deep inside!
It must be the place of our deep inner space
where the soul of the soul does reside!

Haha, yes Tom! Even the rabbit shouted down "So what's down there! I'll wait up here 'til you get back!!" :-)

Daniel, our souls lie deep within a soul and that is why we need to express the way we do! We all inspire one another to greater heights and the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves! Thank you Sir and the best for all of us has yet to come!!! Get ready!! :-)
