Invisible Soul

…..a poem by Harlon Rivers

An invisible soul stood watching all

Perched from a vantage point in time

Unnoticed concealed visions  

Misconceptions of conventional minds

The soul is not seen visually

Except through thoughts and deeds

Soundless actions go unrecognized

Except by those with needs

A spiritual soul is watching all          

Gifts given to infinite minds

Struggle and strive through madness

Unconscious, blinded humankind 

Perception’s bridges burning

Organized guilted forced and crammed

                       Unrevealed souls that question                       

The brotherhood of man

How can the soul be perceptible?

Vivid light murmurs… distinguishable buzz heard

               The background formless silence              

As actions speak louder than words

The form of life is fading

Light and darkness too small to see

Free choice leaves souls unguided

At journeys birth set free

An invisible soul lives guided

With direction and a path

A spiritual soul the guider

Faith, love and hope is freedom’s journeys path
