The Soul

Life continues on
long after we're gone
We do not die
but find another vessel to occupy
The soul still remains
It does not fade with the body in which it is contained
The body is a machine, the soul its essence
It is just a small piece of God's Holy presence
The soul is good, the mind is evil
These are the forces that battle within people
The soul is our reason, the mind is our will
The soul says to love while the mind says to kill
The soul is pure, the mind is unclean
And when the mind loses its spark
the soul will continue to gleam
