A very well-written free verse about the essence of the soul that belongs to God and will be returned to God when we keep our soul pure without stains of evil and bad things.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is full of depth and wisdom. I love these lines: .."above death or decay
which would transcend to the higher realms;" Beautiful picture to go with your wonderful entry.

I think you have captured the meaning. In Genesis when God created man, it said He breathed into them and man became a living soul. It is the breath of God within us.

Very lovely image, and well thought through free verse poetry.
It is quite difficult to define the soul, I am sure.
Best wishes for the contest.

I love this sentence it resonate with me; '
The soul, luminous like a dew drop
is the Divine within you.
" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and with your writings.

This is a nice little piece which well conforms to the specifications indicated by the writing prompt. It is an interesting version of what it means to have a human soul.

A beautiful offering for the contest... :) I would suggest that you contact Tom and have him 'flip' the switch for your posting from prose to poem as it is posted as a 'general fiction' story at the moment... ;) Perhaps it would then be a bit easier to adjust the formatting to be more conducive to your presented free verse.. ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

    Thank you very much. The contest had mentioned 'prose or poem'.

You have used imaginative imagery in your description of your concept of the Soul. For me, seeing the soul as the embodiment of the Divine within our corporeal bodies, capable of transcending to higher realms is a valid and believable description.

hello A very thoughtful and clear entry for this contest. I really like:
A divine wisdom deep inside,
unseen as the Ego, thick and heavy
cloaks the mind.

I'm still thinking about this...
