the soul of a flute
is found in notes
that float on a tempered breath
while the soul of a guitar
consists of finely tuned strings
which sing
when strummed
or picked
by two talented hands.
the soul of a song
i suppose
is best expressed by written
notes that scale
across a score when played
while the soul of a book
can be found
lying beneath those
printed words on the page
which are only
brought to life
in the blink of an eye
by a mind
eager to look
below the literal
surface of everyday things.
and what of a human soul?
if such truly does exist
then perhaps it can be felt
in moments
that make us
breathless.
