Just A Soul

A Christian lamentation poem about doubt and sin

I'm just a soul drifting

between God and Satan shifting

I'm breathless and hollow

after bliss sorrow must follow

My body is unrecognized

Spiritual and mesmerized

I'm just a piece of material flesh

wrapped in mesh

You have become a shadow

because of your life so low

You can't see yourself up or below

you have become a lost soul steady and slow

a soul separated from the body

a stranger to yourself and everybody

metaphysics as your field of study

the spirit world as your buddy

The spirit is like air

unable to touch or stare

invisible

yet vulnerable

to all of the destructive toxins 

breaking its shell by sins

the soul and body are twins

the state of mind reflects on skin

sorrow adds wrinkles to your chin

The souls are constantly searching

for purpose emerging

in this body made of water

that can turn into ice

by its rain of tears

A blind cover of fog

Above a pond to rise

to make the view unclear

Hard like the essence of clogs

Complex like the soul life of dogs

Body is the prince, soul is the frog
