We must have one,
everyone says so.
To be souless
one of the worst
condemnations.
A soul cannot be seen,
inside a body that is seen,
body feels pleasure and pain,
the soul just absorbs.
Where does the soul go?
I think it waits for renewal
occupies non-space
because there are too many
and waits, waits
until the artistry of God
paints a new body on it,
the colors of incorruptible flesh.
