If I am a living picture of <br />my soul, my poor soul is <br />ailing, how can eternal life <br />be represented by a tem- <br />porary physical vessel <br /> <br />It is degrading, demeaning <br />to make such a statement; <br />soul seems to be so much <br />bigger, better and powerful <br />than spirit and body <br /> <br />If my grumbling existence <br />and restlessness should be <br />the image of my soul within, <br />I see no chance of happiness <br />so I prefer another theory: <br /> <br />The body reflects ideas and <br />fantasies to be implemented <br />and which the soul will com- <br />ment and enlarge repertoire <br />of spiritual experience, but <br /> <br />I don't believe appearance <br />represents soul, all visual <br />things fall short of ideals; <br />only JOY is a great repre- <br />sentation of soul…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-picture/
