The True Weight of a Man’s SoulA Poem by NevilleThe True Weight of a Man’s Soul The weight of a man’s soul is never determined by birth, nor by grace, or by gender, or volume, or girth .. Nor either by chance, or the sum of its mass, that which so effectively made up the whole of the vessel it once sailed in .. But rather, the amount and the measure of both the kindness and love that it dealt and did share .. With those it encountered for each of those moments that together comprised the entire physical life of its host here on earth, where it both sheltered and harboured .. That is, until its final release and eventual departure, being invariably exhaled on the last breath of those dying and though priceless in monetary terms .. It rarely, if ever, exceeds a grand total of almost precisely, twenty-one grams .. © 2022 NevilleFeatured Review
