The Spirit Of This Soul Says It All Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Seek upon these feelings
They are strong in the cause
Never overlook inward intentions
As they come from
The most sacred of place
The soul


Do you see this spirit uprising?
The flesh is lesser than you know


True, eyes have to adjust to the body
But what if things were all calculated?
By the earnest view
Where everything becomes, whole


So much confusion exists
No doubt about that
But to really analyze everything
One has to go inside out
From front to back
Towards and down
Around and around and around


The human urge
Fueled by society's thirst
Of wanting to drink
The sap from the tree of knowledge
Yet, if they truly found
What they were looking for
Would they even notice?
How great everything was in the first place?


And then you have me
Watching them think
Of themselves as all knowing
Experts on feelings
Only to feel empathy
When something bad happens
To themselves
Or those who benefit them the most


The spirit of this soul
So strong
That it keeps learning
More each day
Looking past human nature


As typical as it all is
I suppose its life teaching
The endless lessons
That it all teaches


These feelings though
Were always deeper
For the cause of something more
In tuned with great importance
Of just one thing
The eternal soul


I may be at times too inward

Perhaps tired at times of the out
World of wrong things that happen
To the good that seems full of too much doubt


I do admit
I always ponder my place
Of belonging
To everything of purpose


Is that wrong for me to do?
It is not as bad as it all may seem


I am lucky to be misinterpreted
Use to think it was all a curse
But know who I truly am
Is worth living a long life
Full of love


Still confused?
Join the club
Life is one endless psychedelic drug


But, it is all in natural fun
So climb
High, everyone!


Judge me only
When you have seen my truth
Beyond

The spirit of this soul says it all
