A Life Force that Cannot be Destroyed


In times of trouble
our soul gathers tightly within ~ the one piece of life
that cannot be destroyed 
by this life’s many outside forces.
Spirit, through raging emotions, 
can become crazed and cracked,
a broken shell surrounding our soul.
Our mind asserts it's power and
clicks on
takes control
runs the show 
when spirit and emotions 
churn wildly away into chaos.

Our mind attempts to logically
solve 'the puzzle' step by step,
pushing our bodies to 
keep on going
look good,
act correctly
be a robot ~ while deep inside 
wild thoughts and emotions 
rage to gain control.
When life becomes too much for our minds to sort out,
our body slips away to a corner
curls up, and with head covered,
rests away from the noise of living.
All the while the light and energy of the soul 
seeps through the cracks of our spirits
to infuse our minds, bodies and emotions
with the will to survive.
"The soul is indestructible and its activity will continue through eternity. 
It is like the sun, which to our eyes, seems to set at night; 
but it has in reality only gone to diffuse it’s light elsewhere."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
