In the Whispers of My Soul

In the whispers of my soul
Stands the urge to seek the truth of myself
In this body of time, and rust, stand the feet, of many rhythms
Hear the tap tap tap

In my veins runs the blood from distances past
I feel the pull of questing and it gets stronger and stronger
My mind flutters like the butterfly that has hatched from its chrysalis
Watch the flutter flutter flutter

As the wrinkles upon this face, the smile which folds my lips, crumble. 
I take my grace of getting older and try to smile each day
Can you hear the pounding of my heart, as it keeps this vessel working?
Feel the beat beat beat 

Life Life Life so strange the feeling that creeps into my soul
That whisper hear it, feel it, it calls, it calls, it calls.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
