Lets talk about the soul....

In the end of the day....
when all bets are off...
and the elaborate costumes and sublime uniforms of one's life have been shed...
What will stand out as a man's true attribute?
For the color of his hair and eyes.....
and the level of fitness he's achieved....
even his intellect ....
his endeavors....
his accomplishments...
will ALL go by the way side...
And what will be left ?
Yes, his children on some level...
the legacy he has imparted therein, I suppose...
The way he LOVED ?
was LOVED ?
ehhhh...
But REALLY WHAT...
other than the essence of his soul ?
And when he is dead and buried far beneath the ground...
and his body has decayed and deteriorated beyond recognition...
His soul will continue to live on...
perhaps in another's body...
perhaps on some DIVINE, astral plane....
layers above the heavens....
And somehow...
Oh, yes...somehow...
He will continue to be accountable for his TRUE SELF....
for his NATURE....
Hardly a VALENTINE message !!
Actually, maybe IT IS !
