Inside That Soul of Mine

GiaB writing prompt #17 — the soul

People ask when I met you, The question always confuses me. Don’t they know? You were there. All the time. From my first breath of life.

You whispered in my ear, Introducing me to beauty And calming me when afraid. You explained the secrets of life, But left some unknown to ponder.

Faith doesn’t seem enough, To describe our bond, You seem more tangible, more sure, My trust in you pure from experiencing your presence, Your strength supports me as I lean into you companionably.

None of the great doctors, Have found that place inside of me where you reside, But even they realize, There’s something magic going on. You bring out the best in me.

Thanks to Victor Sarkin and Genius In a Bottle, for another lovely prompt.

Kim McKinney believes our souls are full of a spirit that teaches us and guides us towards lives of purpose. You can choose to either listen or ignore. She loves to listen.
