My Soul

by Susanjohn

Soul Writer Contest Winner

A tender soul buried within

battling this original sin

that knows in time will overcome
removed from fear and not
succumb.

The essence below breathes alive
urges the body to survive
a singularity with God
Impervious to my
facade.

Encompassed faith with desire
teeters between constant fire
As purity is directed
a gentle spirit
reflected.

This mystery can't be explained
yet, a knowing to be sustained
undeniable living part
a loving master's work of
art.

Death cannot transfix me with fear
my Father holds me very near
Earthly body will always roam
Till the day my soul is called
home.
