The soul within the man

The soul within the man
Is rumored; never seen.
The fading light of sun
Is what the moon must bring.

A greater lamp’s behind
The pale-lit night time hours;
It’s but the fainter shining
Of a greater power.

There is no separation,
Except it be degree:
The part is of the whole-
But all that we can see.

The soul is hidden from sight because it’s behind the light But in the darkness of night, sometimes one sees it clearly

Another great piece Patti- the last stanza is particularly expressive and meaningful..

I like the subject material and the way you express it. The flow is very appealing.

Deep and meaningful with great rhythm. We are all part of the collective whole linked to one another in light and love...
