...just saw this, looked like fun...really enjoyed reading all the "challenger's) responses. You guy's are such an awesome group. ~~~ Soul in Transition I am a soul in transition, a spirit unfulfilled I wonder if there’s really a God, when I’m sure there is I hear angel wings in the night I see spirits in the dark I want to be what I’m not I am a soul in transition, a spirit unfulfilled I pretend to be like everyone else – a facade I feel the emotions of others I touch their souls hoping they know I worry all is for naught I cry when other’s shed tears I am a soul in transition, a spirit unfulfilled. I understand the feelings we have I say open your eyes, believe in the sky I dream there’s truth in my beliefs I try hard to live within their bounds I hope it really wasn’t all for naught I am a soul in transition, a spirit unfulfilled.

"I say open your eyes, believe in the sky" I see a person who looks at clouds in analysis and wonder. Enjoyed reading about who you are. |

"I am a soul in transition, a spirit unfulfilled" I believe this applies to us all and I found the whole piece most insightful. |
