Some Questions You Might Ask, by Mary Oliver
If God made this earth
and everything on it.
Why wouldn't s/he give everything a soul?
If we just evolved
Where did the soul come from?
If someone imagined a soul,
Does soul even exsist?
I hope I have a soul.
I've spent a lifetime becoming who I am.
I've put a lot of thought and effort
and a lot of study
into my effort
to grow as a person
It seems like such a waste
To throw away a life time of learning
I've tried to pour a lifetime of learning
into my journals and my writing.
It's my legacy.
Am I leaving my soul in my writings
It is as close as I can come
to leaving my soul to those
who come after me.
Yes, that is a poem...:-)
