bodyparts 49



i've been trying to catch my soul
get a glimpse of how it works
and maybe even what for

but all i learn from the effort
is that a soul has a million shapes
a billion reasons of existance
and endless halls and doors

i try to follow where it leads me
as it keeps shouting in my dreams
and only yesterday was told
that between the body and the soul
there should be visible seams

i might look into that more deeply
figure out what thread is used
a scarlet thread to follow
or a designed thread of control

or maybe i just let it be
accept the noise and colours
the ties to flesh and bones
forget the understanding
and move on through the next door

It's never wrong to skip a question on a test. Even if you never get around to going back to it before the final bell rings. Some have no need to supplant instinct with answers.

skipping the questions, or even better skipping the answers, is one of the most important things i have learned along this journey
