Soul

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 05, 2018

How deep?
How long?
Looking.
Looking
Into your
soul. 
How long
dare you
stare?
How deep
before 
you
are lost?
Lost in 
It’s infinity.
Will you 
return 
changed.
Will you
return at all
dare you 
go
too deep?
Will you go
mad should
you stare
too long?
Gazing
into the
abyss of what
you are.
Looking at
where you’ve
been,
where
you are
going.
Are you
your soul?
Is your
soul you?
Is it easier 
to turn
away,
not turn
inward?
 Simply
look ahead,
Ignoring,
ignoring 
yourself?
The universe 
within. 
The soul,
a portal 
to a
different place.
A journey 
to a 
different 
you.
How
deep dare
you
go
