Body and Soul

body breathe body
soul breathe soul
down you may go
up you may go
bodies stay put
souls continue to stroll

misconceptions reap
misinterpretations keep
‒truth always seeps
from carefully placed seams

on goes every soul
stays, stays every body
from dust he came
back to dust he remains
as the soul leaves
in desperate reprieve
or in salvation's gleam

don't be fooled
by a greedy man's tool

grace is given
grace is taken

life is in the light
life is in the night
for all time
belongs to God

test be test
rest is rest

stay to yourself
'til you feel best
then help those in unrest
help them return
keep them from being burned

mercy is given
when pain is taken

souls do matter
no matter
bodies in clatter
