Soul

Joe Strickland

Free verse
Amorphous spirit,
Shifting shape, yet steadfastly
Guiding our life's path.
Invisible, yet present,
The soul's form transcends the flesh.

Deep within our soul
Lies a mind that often speaks
Whispers of hope and fear
Navigating life's journey
Guiding us towards our truth.

Lost in dark abyss,
The soul wanders aimlessly,
Searching for a sign.
Towards the light it yearns to go,
Guided by a gentle glow.    

The soul's luck runs true
Like a river to the sea
Fortune's winds may sway
But in stillness it finds peace
Resilience is its virtue.
