What is the soul? It is The Lighthouse of Your Sea The soul regards no measured space, nor sands that mark the hour It’s not the beauty of the rose, but fragrance of the flower The spirit will remain unseen It’s not the trees or forest, but serenity of green It seeks a better place to dwell, a higher step to climb It reaches not for twinkling stars, but rather the sublime It’s God’s reflection in the night It’s not the constellations, but the origin of light It has no size and yet it grows, no age but yet it learns It has desires, but not a dream, for righteousness it yearns It’s caged within, but travels on It is your beacon in the night, your footpath in the dawn The soul is what another sees, when looking at your deeds It is the inspiration that is shining on his needs It is a compass and a guide It is the lighthouse of your sea that glimmers from inside It’s not the beauty of the man, but goodness of the heart It’s not the painted canvas, but the wonder of the art It rises higher than the mind One day it goes to meet with God, and leaves the man behind Elizabeth Santos |

Mercy me! I have to send this to Sy, it is like you wrote parts of it for him Lizzie. I think you're right about the lighthouse of our sea being the soul. I see your little beacon sure isn't creakin' lady, this was a super smooth sail of a poem to calm any stormy sea.  Yup, took it from Nanners! |

Liz, your a lighthouse of poetry...very much enjoyed this and your perception, you get better and better, your poetry lives...and breaths life.... this was so totally aware It has no size and yet it grows, no age but yet it learns It has desires, but not a dream, for righteousness it yearns It’s caged within, but travels on It is your beacon in the night, your footpath in the dawn missing you hugs Lee J. |
