The Soul’s Call

Pointing with unerring accuracy

To qualities that enthrall

In order to enrich herself

She draws me with her call.

She pulls me out of self

To long for something new

And asks me to die again

So I can be born anew.

Each incarnation does deepen

My love for chance and fate

And to the soul’s delight

I dance through eternity’s gate.

Dance, dance dance

The I, the we, the all

Coming together again

To answer the soul’s call.
