souls
extinction…
are some shadows souls
moving in the light of day
saying please listen
but the world is becoming
darkness so no place for souls
the search…
which star
holds
life like ours
out of
the 10 billion galaxies
each
with
10 billion stars
how
does one
find
the one
with
life
and
how does one
find
a lost love
to say
i’m sorry
in
a city
with
so many
souls
small seeds of life’s fortune…
penny found on street
a lost soul without a home
deemed worthless by most
no one bends to pick it up
life’s true fortune cast aside
the library…
one life to a book
collections of short stories
all first editions
once a book has been removed
just a few are remembered
most are forgotten
their spaces are soon refilled
with newer copies
dusty historical books
the only remnants of souls
]
an observation on love…
when love mingles souls
life will have no barriers
love is eternal
nothing can part the two souls
joined but unique within each
the book of dying 3:8…
so then death gathers up souls
family and friends begin to grieve
as death smiles enjoying the moment
knowing each person sees themselves here
identity theft…
let’s not count the dead
we should read each name aloud
honoring souls lost
rather than some statistic
to be filed and forgotten
the book of dying 3:3…
words of repentance bought and sold
cathedral dollar offerings to death’s angels
licenses to sin death’s special vouchers
postponement of guilt till death bed
the book of dying 3:2…
history of men death’s dark angels
wingless night creature messengers of evil
life’s slave traders gold for souls
believers in prayer fee for redemption
