This life is a changing mystery,
From what you plan, the way you think,
To what actions, you actually do.
Planet earth, your stage, you act on,
The classroom for your soul,
The spiritual side of you.
So much attention, in this material world,
Towards the outer physical body,
From, size & shape, to staring into mirrors,
Many, never think of the inner soul,
Only, when a situation creates fear.
Your spirit inside, gives messages,
Often the first thought in your mind,
Or that unknown voice, in your ear.
The main thing in your bucket list,
Should be discover your soul, a little each day,
Believe, listen, a guide to why,
You are, in this life today,
This life compared to eternity,
A stepping stone, along the way.
