Shadow Of My Soul

I hope the shadow of my soul
                is clear and present to be seen
And that it fits around the world
               to smile in all its lustered sheen

I wish for it to know no bounds
                   for being one and one for all
And ready for what lies ahead
      when spinning off this great blue ball

A soul I think, must know the truth
                     and so in comfort I remain
Though understanding shuns me now
                that one day it is mine to gain

So when I leave and say goodbye
               and wing my way unto the sun
When ashes scatter in the breeze
              and all the worry said and done

If but one thing I hope remains
                  as gentle as the skies above
I hope with my still beating heart
                the shadow of my soul is love
