Soul

To find the soul one must step back from the surface,
withdraw deep within, and enter, enter, far down,
into a very deep hole, silent, still;
and then down there, is something warm, tranquil,
rich in contents and very still,
and very full like a sweetness - this is the soul.
And if one persists and is conscious in oneself,
a sort of plenitude comes which gives the impression
of something complete holding unfathomable profundities.
And one feels that if one entered there many secrets would be revealed,
like the reflection in calm, peaceful waters of something which is eternal.
And the limits of time are no more.
One has the impression of having always been and of being for eternity.
