Just a Soul
You know it feels funny coming out of a box
Shackled by chains behind a thousand locks
To a wide open world that seems like a dream
Not one solitary part of my life is now obscene
I have friends I talk to that live all over the world
Across thousands of miles our souls have been twirled
They have twirled together in a wonderful dance
Which binds the heart in a deep, spiritual romance
Each of us live together yet we live so far apart
You can’t measure distance, speaking of the heart
An inch is a light-year somewhere out in space
I reckon someday we will all find our place
You know heaven is what I pray that place will be
It’s very hard to imagine all the people we will see
A place where all things will be put forever a side
You can just sign me up boys I’ll go for the ride
Death is just freedom from all that we know
I wonder what it will be like, just being a soul
--------------------------------------------------
I just want to say it saddens my heart to go from
one of our top community builders for over two
years to barely being able to sit long enough to
post a single poem and make very few comments.
I have actually reached the point where I'm starting
to feel like Job who faced one test after another.
This poem is how I feel about us, we are more
than friends we are a poetic family and one day
our souls will be set free. Always remember every
trial is but a doorway to a blessing. One day our
souls will meet and I will be proud of the friends
I have chosen. God Bless you all, mj
