Ancient Soul

Ancient Soul

this restless soul has lived before

a soul infinitely more

ancient

then each flimsy shell

lives stretching back into the ages

back throughout histories faded pages...

it has seen and felt death before

visions too powerful to ignore

and knows of all consuming grief and pain

countless dormant dreams remain...

this restless soul has been battered and bruised

tortured and savagely used

by life's harrowing trials

it feels the need for rest or respite

from echoing voices that whisper

in the endless nights...

this restless soul's still wandering

in circles so it seems

wandering into the nether land

of unrealised dreams

searching for a voice

to express life's complexities

hoping to unravel times infinite possibilities

and still this restless soul

wanders on alone

seeking but not finding

a place to call its own
