Souls Seem to Stay the Same; the Body Ages

May 18, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is spirituality, in honor of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins on May 16^th.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about the eternal nature of the soul:

Souls seem to stay the same; the body ages.

In time we change, though somehow souls remain

X’s anchored deep beneath the sea,

The bobbing buoys that lean and shift and sway,

Yet mark their place as life goes through its stages.

For throughout our joy, guilt, ecstasy, and pain;

In spite of all the love along the way;

Vivid though our passions, prayers, and rages;

Each soul still sojourns in eternity.
