Inside

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 20, 2018

Look inside.
Open up
to the core.
Bone, blood
flesh
and more.
Look into
the organs,
heart, liver 
kidneys 
and more.
Look behind
the eyes,
brainstem,
cerebrum,
cerebellum
and more.
All looks
the same.
Where are
you?
Where can
you be found?
Where
is your
uniqueness?
Where is your
essence?
Where 
is your
soul?
Look everywhere,
look very hard.
Nowhere to 
be found!
Receiver,
your body
just a 
receiver.
Your essence,
your soul 
beams in
from a 
different place.
A place 
from 
beyond.
