Poem Artwork

 

We live inside-out

Putting on bodies like clothes with rough seams toward the world

Spending massive wealth on lotions, makeup, botox

repairing the illusion we present

Unaware we have it backwards

Opposite of what we’re taught

even lost Ghosts get confused

Asking this coat of skin

why I can see them

with only their soul visible.

 

Which is stronger?

Which lasts longer?

Do you need a suit to say who you are?

Labels can identify

Only what we allow other illusions to know

Not hiding in a tiny space

The soul

Reaches out to communicate

Before the body does.

I do enjoy the philosophic lucidity in this construct. In a society of producing and selling, being able to coerce better usually results in more sales. I discovered, many years ago, that putting your life, and your accomplishments, in Gods hands allows for more peace and less striving. I truly believe, (though my flesh and intellect rail occasionally about timing) that God sends those to us (and vice-versa)He wants us to bless. And He does so at exactly the correct time. your soul-searching is producing fragrant blossoms friend.
