Soul to Soul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine Your Soul
\nCame Into Your Body,
\nHidden In Your Mama,<\/p>\n

Loaded With
\nThe Gifts
\nYou Wanted to
\nPass Around to
\nThe Rest of Us
\nSouls In Bodies.<\/p>\n

Gifts of Love
\nWrapped In<\/p>\n

The Love of Music,
\nSung or Danced, or
\nPlayed with
\nInstruments Created
\nas Another\u2019s Gift,<\/p>\n

Perhaps a Passion to
\nArrange Bouquets of Words
\nIn Vases of Story or
\nOratory or
\nRiffs of Rhyme or
\nRants or Reason.<\/p>\n

Maybe Your Soul
\nBears Offerings
\nBrushed Onto Canvas, or
\nStreamed On a Screen, or<\/p>\n

Sawed and Hammered
\nInto Shelter for
\nOur Soul-Filled Bodies.<\/p>\n

Naming and Numbering
\nGifts
\nIs as Infinite as
\nThe Souls
\nWho are Without
\nBeginning or End.<\/p>\n

Some Say
\nOur Souls
\nJoined Our Bodies
\nTo Be Birthed Into
\nA School of
\nHard Knocks.<\/p>\n

But What If
\nWe Came Here On
\na Treasure Hunt,<\/p>\n

To Find
\nThese Gifts
\nThe Maker Hid
\nIn Our Souls,<\/p>\n

With The Grin
\nThat Lights
\nThe Stars.<\/p>\n
