The Soul Is the window to life



My soul dark matter
Swims upwards toward my heart
Crushed bones, healing


Up it swims to heart
Time for heart to rest, its ok
Tenderly latches on


Soul embraces, peace
Moves like gentle fish kisses
Heart at rest, long last


Light forms inside out
Blinding, heart shakes and cracks
Its time for rest love


Great burst of light
Very essence of soul
And heart are released


Duality of man
Free from this prison husk, free
To eternity
