Our Soul
Love is precious, a fragile thing
Time moves it to and fro
Where love begins and ends
Nobody knows
But we feel it in our body
We know when its in our soul
Love is easily destroyed
Yet unshakable
It is the rib protecting the heart
It beats even while the world is falling apart
It is hope in motion
A tiny, wooden sail boat in a big green ocean
It drifts with the changing tide
Strong spirits are needed for this voyage
The waves are born to make the weary sea sick
But we set sail anyway
We run from storms
But they entangle us
With lightning, wind and rain
This is a good time for a heart that’s brave
The thought of holding on is enough to make us afraid
Love is precious, a fragile thing
Time moves it to and fro
Where love begins and ends
Nobody knows
But we feel it in our body
We know when its in our soul
So we maintain
And figure out how to keep course in the rain
Skip over puddles
We open our umbrellas
And huddle under wet coats
Knowing that love could never keep us warm
But it’s enough to keep us a float
We sing songs against the crackling noises
Of the shaky, trembling trees
The twigs break and the branches give way
But the root goes nowhere
It’s depth is here to stay
We are tunneled into the earth
Underneath layers of harden rock
Meet me at the aquifer
So that we may both get our fill
Of fresh living water
Love is precious, a fragile thing
Time moves it to and fro
Where love begins and ends
Nobody knows
But we feel it in our body
We know when its in our soul
Love always, Esha ❤
