Soul

Moving forward with Soul

Truth is the connector to the Soul

When the trappings of Ego are laid to rest

And the sweet sound of the Soul

Rises to sing

In triumph and love.

When the individuals life journey

Is met with a bow

to the almighty forces of the shifting

Wind.

When the traveler understands in the deepest of manners

There is no point to fighting with the Wind.

That one must align the gifts so freely given

To be in step with the Wind.

Regardless of the desires of

the natural self.

That life requires a letting go

An acceptance of that which

May seem unfair or unreasonable.

It is in the letting go

And the joining

That the true power

Of Truth is given

to the simple one.
