" You don't have a soul.  You are a soul.  You have a body."

~ C. S. Lewis

Our bodies are a bed and breakfast lodge for a soul

 that has places to go

we sometimes forget their presence 

because they are the quietest of guests

treading down the innermost halls

preparing for a trip

with no plans to stay at all

so we attempt to keep up the cottage and

we fluff the pillows and smooth the sheets

but the soul doesn't eat a big breakfast

and never needs too much sleep

prolonging it's stay is futile

for it has plans we cannot conceive 

if one looks with scientific eyes

they won't see past the amenities

but if we simply close them

and search within the confines of our heart

we will find there is something bigger

than this world could ever impart...

so I say to the world of traveling souls

and that means you and that means me to

have a little faith

and we'll leave the light on for you.
