Where Does Your Soul Lie? Your soul: deepest of the deep within you life's swirling eddy sucking down the this and that of the world meant to be the truth of you of each human but . . . Where does your Soul lie? In your touch - supposed feelings intertwined yet the cooler temperature of your reality seeps through . . . In your eyes - melding of minds or is it you withdraw before the union is complete . . . In your heart - beating not for me nor anyone, does it for yourself or just mechanically keeping you alive In your mind - thoughts of what you believe another might offer, presuming your right toward greed Where does your soul lie? For it is lies which sound the very loudest each time you mistake tenderness for lust any instance in which you forsake compassion for desire every moment which finds you assuming sincerity for yourself . . . � K.E.Cline, 1/26/99 |
