Soul is where the mind isn’t

After all the things you say
After all the things you do
After all the people you meet
After all the jokes you laugh at
After all the sorrows you mourn
After all the fights you have
After all the tears you shed

Where do you go ?

After all the places you travel
After all the money you spend
After all the sins you commit
After all the good deeds you do
After the day is over, and bells have tolled

Where do you rest ?

You come home to yourself...
And stare at your soul in the mirror

What do you feel ?

You were always here, and will be so
The mind wanders, but the soul can’t
And after a while
You hear voices, growing inside
They were always there
But were always drowned
In the fleeting noises....

of the jokes you laugh at
of the sorrows you mourn
of the fights you have
of the places you travel
lost somewhere in the company of
those who shall no more be forever

And when the noises fade away
You come home
To your soul
The mind wanders but the soul won’t

It was here always
And will be forever...
