(For Tanya) My Celled Soul
They say the soul can transcend time and space
A graceful thing unnoticed
Dressed in unimportance
Tucked between heart and mind
Often remembered on days of sorrow
And awoken in dreams
They say it’s seen through window eyes
Surfacing in honest moments
They’re sparse and often seldom
But between words and gestures
The way she moves is true
For the body cannot tell a lie
Have I seen your soul before
A time when we both were nothing
In passing or amongst a crowd
Facelessness abound
Could two souls recognize each other
One dancing on a stage
The other lost at sea
If two souls recognized each other
Would they stop and take a notice
A pause, a grin, a gesture
Would they reminisce on the past
Or debate the day
Or can a soul be forgotten like a man caged?
