THE SOUL'S REPLY #

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 38

and
'The Soul's Reply' came
to such heart
no earthly brand be made
not really
'tis but fiction
garnered from the ego
laden brain
such illusions' injuries
in all crank and calamity
that be all they be
but every heartbreak feels so real
to the heart and personality
the very reason we come to
this earthly plane
with masked soul intact
an honest way to teach the otherwise
perfect
lessons from mistakes it and others
could otherwise not make..........
