Soul


Soul



Godliness in a flower
Excitement in a contest
Fun in a party
Emptiness in a lonely
In you, me
In this table, chair…..
In trees and birds and clouds….everywhere,



Cannot be seen
Cannot be described or portrayed.
But known within,
More so when
See a dead






….Death in a dead.

Wonderful, Harshad. It brought to my mind two thoughts.

There is one thing that when one dies we most all wonder about the deceased's soul. Where is it now? For some we are pretty sure of the answer, with the Lord.

The second is a retired preacher friend who makes hospital visits. He brings dead flowers, not a pretty bouquet like your picture. I never could figure this out and his explanation did not make much sense. He said it was his way of making a joke. I thought he had a subconscious motive as well.

Nice reflections of the spirit that resides in us, using the nature as a metaphor. We can only guess ~

Can't be seen but we are aware none the less. The soul lives on.... I believe... Lovely!
