THE UNIVERSE'S SOUL
I walk down the path
ghosts surround my way
ghosts from the past
ghosts from a future day
What secrets do they hold
for the world I'm in
why are they haunting us
from the days of old
I see the secrets of the universe
not ours but the spirit realm
where the physical domain of life
meets the psychic dimension
But why the intrusion I wonder
what wonders do they hold
what wonders can be told
from their existence in this plane
Ghosts surround us today
in what ways can never be said
but someday what secrets they hold
will be revealed when the future's made
What I wonder is the key
where does the reason hide
where no man can go
deep in the universe's soul
