As Soul — Poetry — Headless Now — Moca McCarty Photo

As Soul:

as soul, and this is what we are through essence and being, native to earth and air by the very root of composition — elements of the same order, molecules shared through ages, and the endless trade of atoms, particles and common space.

we are the soul of one existence.

it’s here that we return, not to, but as the garden itself, as Eden’s own fertile soil, nurturing life through new turns of it expression, earth soul. We return as air, allowing space for clouds, and our presence found too as rain, nourishing earth through the countless drops that fall. We are the very grace of nature, infinitely inspired to give and receive every version of our self.

continuously.

as soul, not individual but as the whole — that’s our reality, and we are this right now, recycled star and earth dust somehow found aware. We are not transformed, becoming something other than we ever were before, no, we simply shift to original transitory nature, essence, energy. Our reality is one of attraction, of emptiness allowing particles to swirl and come to form, the playfulness of soul in free expression, art without immediate meaning, nor even need of an artist’s point of view. Just life continuously recreating itself, abandoning one design for its return as raw material, soul again, and always.
