essence


oh say
can you see
the minds in that eye
the layers that make
the psyche
these things drive body
and, of course soul
such as soul is
to these ends
decisions
to be made
with regret perhaps
with doubt of course
of course the course
to be followed
the decider from within
chooses
to touch self’s soul
to ensure soul’s self
is worthy of touch

Someone once famously sang that love is touching souls. By touching your own soul, you are giving the ultimate gift to yourself. Good luck Norton.
