Promise of the Soul

by Amber Goldfish
(Nigeria)

The light of the soul must never be dimmed
The beauty, never tarnished
That there might ever be
A thirst for life
An upward pull to attain better
Achieve higher
The music within it
A sweet and harmonious melody
Heard only through deep introspection
Accompanied by the soft strumming of an instrument
Which when played to the utmost
Births a well spring of possibilities and potentials untold
Soul! Awaken to the beauty that lies within
Only hidden by that veil of amnesia
Remember now your true purpose
Which is to transform existence
And engrave your footprints in the sands of time.
