The Poem (from the Soul)



did it come from the soul,
did it shine though the dark,
did it open a world
and a great truth impart?

then you have succeeded

though in heaven, as you
can imagine, just one word won't
do, no not five or ten too -
all in right places and chosen

and moseying along at a good
pace and sounding okay, or
raisin' a  commotion with notion -

the spirit being a multi-factor aled
thing, just chooses to sing -
with any notes, words, emotes
on all at it's use... no barrier reef

causin' grief - head tryin' to think

    I wonder if you're touching on where the poetry comes from, or in essence by which spirit we receive the words.
