#POEMBER #30DAYPOETRYCHALLENGE DAY 19 PROMPT: VULNERABILITY
a soul
is reflected in the infinite pool
channeled
using artistic tools
an impenetrable soul
like the widow
is not to be consoled
for the soul without penetration
left to exist without connection
left voiceless
in this dimension
dresses itself in all black
in an oversized hat
to hide the shame, the pain
of existing alone
of not having the courage to let go
unlike the widow
the soul can never truly lose
it’s connection to you
like the widow
attaches itself to a few re-bounds
but nothing truly profound
the soul must be allowed to flow
must not be caged
and hid away
must be wateres
with the truth of vulnerability
must be taken to the mountaintop
for all to see
for unlike the widow
the soul is both
beginning and end
with a lifetime
to comprehend
whereas the widow
is simply a simile for an ending and a question mark to the impending
