Shifted Form

To a dear friend who lost someone close to them a short while ago

The soul has energy

That rises from its shell

Soaring effortlessly

When this life has come

To an inevitable end

Drifting upon the wind

With a delicate flow

Whispering through the trees

Spreading and changing

As new-found freedom grows

Close your limited eyes

Feel the breath on your cheek

Sense the life flow

That carries upon the breeze

Life not depleted

But shifted into

A different freeing form

With an immortal start

One line here sheds illumination.
"Close your limited eyes."
If only our eyes could be open with knowledge of the heart, we may well realise that this plain is not all.
Still, not an easy battle to win when grieving, such things take time to reach such prespectives :)

This is a beautiful write Poetic Beauty, it shows so many compassion, and oneness with the afterlife, and being one with nature. I found it wise, and serene.
There is hope, after this life. And i know it.

Thank you. I wrote this piece for a friend who's grandfather passed away.

(than, to me it is even more special) I recently lost my grandfather. Beautifully done.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Close your limited eyes. What a wonderful line. And immortal start. This is just beautiful. Such a free spirit of words, about the free spirit we all are or will be. Love it

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

such a wonderful thought that when our bodies end that our souls become something else. lovely poetry

[Poetic Beauty]

I believe in heaven but this poem is about those who left this world are watching over us like a guardian angel in our time of grieving after we are gone.

A pleasing reflection on the continuity of life.... affirming the positive nature of our existence...

[Poetic Beauty]

thank you

Beautiful. And accurate to this reader's intuition too. Timely to an issue in my life right now. Gracefully affirmative re soul shift, not cessation. And on the in-between occasions when it's not time to go, this sensibility of spiritual freedom returns to light the way in this realm of prevailing shell logic. Thank you.

[Poetic Beauty]

It is a deep thought on life's transformation. I believe we simply return to the true form we are suppose to have. I also see God like the wind moving everywhere all the time all around us, not sitting on a thrown in heaven watching but actually around us all the time.

[Pax Analog]

Absolutely! Immanent Field of Love-Consciousness!
