I have no soul...

Voices cry out to us every day. Do we ever really hear them?

I have no soul…

I am dust

              No magazine face

                              FACELESS

I am mud

              No hands of grace

                              NAMELESS                     

I am hunger

              No bed of lace

                              HOMELESS

I am blood

              No resting place

                              HELPLESS

Do I even have a soul…in your eyes???

 

Author's Note

Tried to be a little more experimental than my other poems to try and reach a more subconscious level of pain and fear.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

The soul is only beautified when spirit comes to life ...as soul for spirit dies the spirit learns to fly ....🌹🌹🌹

WOW!! This is deep and quite powerful, It felt kinda sad in a sense as well. So nicely expressed

'I have no soul...'
An owl on the moon,
Good use of differing texts gave this writing a powerful message. Are we of value? If so why and to whom? What does the word affirmation mean? Your poem seemed to relay the need of humanity to matter and to have purpose. 'I have no soul' is an interesting statement. People can feel that way and many do I think. We matter to a perfect and just God. We are not a mystery or out of his comprehension-understanding. With all our complexities, baggage, layers and imperfections we are still wanted, loved and desired. Sin is what hides our eyes from the only one whom can make a difference.

Thank you so much for finding this ancient piece. Yes, we have a divine place in the world, but so many rush too fast to catch a glimpse of the wondrous glory of creation. Blessings... Craig

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, we all are somewhere in the middle of that. Some in good places, others at rock bottom, yet we do all have a soul and are worth something to God. Different type write. Valentine

[An owl on the moon]

Yes, even in the darkness, the empty places we have immeasurable worth in God's eyes. Thank you for seeing that in others, dear poet.

[Sam Gregory]

I can relate to this well, very good flow and use of different fonts :)

[Jack...]

This is exceptionally cool. Very now and sporadic in a controlled way.

Woah! Craig! This was very well written, the font of this poem was very well suited to the poem. You have some very powerful words. I liked the question at the end of the poem.
Just, wow. Im actually speechless! Took my breath away!

This is excellent, you touched on just about everything that could make a person feel like they have no soul!

[Pebbles]

you know a good friend of mine who had got himself lost in doing any and every drug he could get his hands on once asked me if i had ever done heroin ... when i said never,he looked into my eyes and said 'dont bother rai it steals your soul until there is nothing left' he couldnt connect with who he was but i always saw the soul in him ....... he's gone now, hopefully he found a little happiness on the other side...... great write Craig :)

You have a tremendous artistic capacity to be incredibly 'unique' .
So many people feel as if they are not being seen, listened to and as you say feel:
"Faceless, Nameless, Homeless, Helpless"
