ENERGY OF SOUL


The energy of soul once awoken never folds
back to fit the body it outgrew by all it knows
yet silent it must stay and lie dormant in the pain
of life amongst the living down on the earthly plane.  

It wanders in the mind like a truant child from school
with fancy dress its passion of jester, sage, and fool
then plays at hide and seek in the ether of my dreams
till certain I believe I’m not what I perceive.  
  
I’m a fragment of the All, an offshoot with no roots,
a sculpture of a lady in a skin and bone playsuit
inhaling and exhaling the air of no relief
and moving always sideways in a bubble of my grief.

But I do encompass love in the aura of my being,
a coloured light surround of all I’m always feeling
for you, the only one, who defined my wavy lines
and painted hues of love in this and other times.

Contained in destiny I yet can claim my right
to honour my birthright decreed within the light
but one with soul’s pure energy I too must lie in pain
and remain amongst the living down on the earthly plane!
