The
Soul's Estate
Have
all the words been written
That
prescribe a Soul's estate?
Has
Destiny chiseled an eternity
Firmly
fixed in the greedy grasp of Fate?
Do
Inner Lands--fields, hills, and moors
Exist
and even grow?
Or
does a finite rule restrict
The
inheritance of a Soul?
Does
the Soul's estate possess
One
simple, solitary goal?
Or
does the Universal stream
Offer
profuse purposes as it flows?
Where
is the Will and Testament
That
allots the Soul its wealth?
Who
is the Timeless Testator
From
whom the Essential is dealt?
And
if one chooses to disregard
The
existence of a Soul,
Is
the inheritance claimed
By
Disbelief to pay that costly toll?
Does
the Soul's estate exist
Or
is it impossible to find?
Each
answer creates the experiences
That
pave the landscapes of a life.
