Analysis of My Soul Speaks
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
My Soul Speaks
While listening closely , you may hear my Soul speak
A candid expression , exquisite , unique
We exercise actions , humanly found
Spoke through the psyche , heavenly bound
Life , vital breath , awakens in me
The sudden expression , of feeling so free
The most human actions , interpret the voids
And selfless expression , with some paranoids
The spirit is vital , to all living things
Through joy and expression , that life seldom brings
The streaming of consciousness , the concepts of life
As fear kills the body , and renders the strife
Believing , conceiving , while working in rhymes
With a full range of thoughts , brought on by the times
The non-corporeal essence , and being of spirit
And the sometimes mocking , and being satiric
With mood and enthusiasm , of mind and of soul
We all walk this planet , do our best to control ...
The thoughts and the actions , that life somehow brings
And the joy that's worth sharing , while waiting our King
