The Life and Soul of Me

 

 

The Life and Soul

 

A breath!

A whisper, a prayer..

I came into the world, but not alone.

So great was the Creator’s love for me

you were sent along.

 

Comforter!

Consort, tormentor, friend,

my heart’s deepest desires you share.

We move in time, this dance of life

until our days shall end.

 

Together

Entwined, combined, one mind

along the winding path we see

the weeds, the seeds, the undertones,

the shadows linger over we.

 

Descend

the pit, the hollow well of pain-

and you gently take my heart.

Hold it safely to your breast to heal

it, every broken part.

 

Faithful

 even when  I turn away,

ignore your gentle face and ways;

and still you stay, agree to play,

and help me through the darkest days.

 

Illusion

Magic, the rainbow bubble bursts!

I drift away, from shackles free.

We cry and fly into the sky,

as one-the Life and Soul of

me.
