Mortal moments slip by:
some filled with unnecessary jargon
and waste of loss.
The soul an observer of mind and heart.
Thoughts and emotions coming apart;
cul de sac and pain of dart.
Soul the sacred healer.
Would we ever feel the sooth on wound
without obstruction, without blow?
What does the moment grasp
of the whole?
Step by step the path unfolds.
Heart frustrated by its mind;
soul so patient and so kind in remind:
Be hopeful, Child
be faithful, for pure Love is mild!
Transcend the plight
in divine Flight.
Let mortal moments die in Life.
Author notes
No breach is without reason. We should see the whole.

I'm stilling learning not to "jest at scars that never felt a wound" but it's very difficult to see the 'whole' picture from the bottom of the hole. Best wishes in the contest.
Sincerely,

I like your take on this... focus on what's important. A true study in patience... I like the concept of the whole.... well done - Kevin

Superb
'tis a very fine write, indeed. I don't know why, but this poem reminds me of this classical poem:
"Disiderata", of which I'm sure you've heard. Thanks for sharing this one. -
We are shackled to life, like sled dogs in the traces, and our sleds grow daily heavier. Life adds its weight to us, more each day, and we end up straining just to move forward. And move we must, or we become immobilized, weighted down with life.
But, the time comes when the traces are cut, the yolk is lifted, and we discard the sled . . . and then we will be free to run, we will be one with the wind. Even now, such thoughts seem to make the sled lighter.

I believe soul is personal
while spirit is the exchange - the work
the art
the dialogue - the "labor for love" can not happen in a place where honesty is the missing element
frustration manifests where no place of expression is left and probably is a message strong enough to be interpreted
of course the pro-profit way of thinking lacks the wisdom to analyze it and that's why society and humanity are two separate entities, one emptied of essence and the other blinded by frustration and paradoxical life clinging addictions
an "ideal" society would thus be one that has the insight to allow new to happen, because change is the only perfection that can mean life not decaying complacency or crystalized death; without desperate gestures incomming from neither sides: conservative or new
because while order is neccessary for material growth, the freedom of self expression has always been the motor of progress in the quest for indentity as a spiritual entity defining mankind
otherwise you'll still have kings pulling out the eyes of war prisoners and martyrs cut in two by chainsaw

This is really good! "Step by step the path unfolds." I believe that we must work hard to be sure that we hold tight to each other and take that pate together. It really can work if we do it together.
Love,

The big picture makes huge problems into annoyances, mere pebbles on the road. This is a great message for the days when we can't see above the rut.
Thanks sweetie!
