So Far Valentine

The soul acting on its own
Can only get so far
Pursuing the larger questions
 
Even examining its own body
How easily it gets stumped
Trying to follow the blood in the veins
 
Back to its original idea
As a bolt of lightening
Held and moving in the flesh
 
Charging the soul with a light
That’s clearly other-worldly
Over and over with every breath
 
Until the soul reels and dances
Sensing something in its sorrow
And joy that cannot be grasped
