The soul knows it is standby equipment. <br />Some days for it are not days at all, <br />because it stays in its box, <br />uninvited to the world. <br /> <br />The soul has suffered all it can stand <br />And it has promised itself, <br />the next time you betray it, <br />watch out. <br /> <br />But the soul stands now by your grave for you <br />and all that waiting is forgotten <br />it only knows it misses you <br />and it howls.<br /><br />Mike Finley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-soul-stands-watch/
