"What IS it," said the soul,
"That without form, I'm not whole?
Though will o' the wisp is what be I
And often cast but by a sigh
For where thy dreamer oft-times is
As dream he, but soft, often ‘tis
The ways that be, held by thy eye,
But for my wayward soul go I."

methinksthe soul in defintion
always seeks the more in light
of seeing casting off shadows fear
to remember only what pierces
the breath of the heart
the soul so attached

Nicely done

I feel there is a soul somewhere smiling, as I read this out loud

We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start!

'pon the mome' of soul does fly
and from thy most whimsome whim
thy soul shant not surely die.

Enjoyed the write,

Thank You!

I love the way you phrased this age old question, Lady...
Well done!

This is very good.  The rhyme scheme and the meter are even and logical, and the statement that the poem makes is very solid.  I really like how you don't beat around the bush at all.  
There's not really much else I can say.  Very good.
