The Soil by Atul Singh
Though time may shrivel our bodies some
may our hearts yet expand and grow
your skin and mine may lose some shine
may our souls yet forever glow
it’s not time’s toll on our body that
we need fear the most
it’s our heart and soul, when they dry up
life’s curtain draws to a close
a blossoming heart will forevermore
shine through those wrinkled eyes
a vibrant spirit will peek through
no matter how much one hides
the messy dirt, the soil of the land
it harbors all that grows
the prettiest flower and the sweetest fruit
from it’s bosom they spring forth
it’s our hearts, the soil of the land
that need nurture, tending and toil
the youthful skin, the gleaming smile
then beam forever from it’s core
some compassion and some gratitude
when we pour into our roots
lasting are the vibrant hues
of our radiant Heart and Soul
