OLD SOUL

OLD SOUL

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

 Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

 

Don’t want to live what’s in my mind.

I never know what I will find.

My random thoughts the day throughout

are usually filled with fear and doubt.

 

Don’t want to live what’s in my heart.

My empathy would surely start

to feel the pain of those around,

and to their fear I would be bound.

 

Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

 Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

 

You send me messages and signs.

I don’t listen I cross the lines.

I go my own way round instead.

Follow the path that’s in my head.

 

You’re more connected to the source,

so beam me up and plot the course.

I‘ll do whatever that I should.

Just want to be the greater good

 

Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

 Old soul,

I give you the control.

You know what I need to make me whole.

That was insightful. Sometimes when we follow our heads, they lead us only in logic. Sometimes when we follow our hearts, they don't always know what is right. Only our souls can lead us in where we need to go and know what is best for us after all.

Yes. Yes. It sings like a song. One that I would love to sing along. Your words speak direct and I feel every line, I'm so glad to connect with an old soul like mine.
