Proof

How can you quantify the soul?
When you don't fully understand its role
Its motives may be quite unique
If only you could hear it speak.
You could ask it so many things -
Without truly understanding why
Oh, the silence almost makes one want to cry.
You sit still, motionless.  Listen harder yet.
You could hear the smallest pin drop.
Still no answer do you get.
Perhaps just to know the soul is there;
Should be enough.
Perhaps the search for proof
Is causing your rebuff?
Perhaps in the end, you will finally know
What truth, your soul may have to show.
