“Where goes my Soul” ~a poem by Linda Willows

Where goes my soul, Love follows near.
It bides, resides and tremors to
the presence of one only Tear.
Such aches to speak and tell of all
the mystery, the wondrous calls…
Symphonies that sound beyond
the Angels realm with life unbound.
All becomes in chords of Love.
My Soul is freed. I breathe above.
Take me farther than Love could weep.
My Soul does burst upon Thy Keep.

  6. So very lovely Linda ~ your soul always safe and protected by the great force o Love.
    Very lyrical ~ flowing. I especially was drawn to this line:

    “All becomes in chords of Love.
    My Soul is freed. I breathe above.”

    Beautiful! ~ Much Love to you dear friend, Robyn

    • Thank you Dear Robyn, I am grateful for your comment. Especially also enjoy the phrase that you chose to highlight as the writing of it was an experience of exhilaration. Which if noticed, is like a sacred exhale….a breath above….Love to you always!

  8. So the Spirit reaches out and takes the tear the soul offers, turns it into rainbows so we know we are forgiven, even as we forgive…

  9. thank you so much for a fascinating interpretation of the poem, grandfather. I admit that I am open to many interpretations, especially because of how the poems are ‘written’, really in such a kind of soul ‘s passion of the moment that sweeps through me…. I wait for it, and wait upon it. I am grateful for the words that pour and as I am writing, do not interpret or seek precise meaning but rather become immersed in the deep feeling which passes over my heart during those moments. I know that when I wrote the word, ‘tear’, I did not feel a sadness or remorse at all…it was not an earthly tear that was written about, not one that would contain “things or acts which needed forgiveness or anything which invoked a sense of judgement..” so, I could not follow from there that the Spirit responded by “Forgiving”. Yet Forgiving is a Word, much larger and of greater importance than what we offer to it. If the Spirit offered Forgiveness, it would like the act of -Giving Grace and Love Forth to All…..couldn’t that be a definition of for-give-ness? This, then truly as you describe, infinite rainbows for All. My love to you once again, for your voice inspires me to think and to seek answers. Thank you deeply, Linda
