What If

What if you existed before your body was born
What if you will exist after this body is torn

What if the you that exists today is two
                A mindful body that wants to do
                                  what it wants to do
                And a spirited soul that makes up the two

What if the real you is the soul that was and will be
But your mindful body is cluttered with me, Me, ME
And you had to squint and search to see
      The truth
                the light
                        the answer
                                the key

Would you hear whispers of hints and clues
Perhaps coming in the form of a muse
And would it all sound like a wild ruse
Since it had nothing to do with today's news

What if you
            ignored the voice
                                      of you

                      -- Darril R. Gibson


                            Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.                                                         

                                          - Anne Sexton
