A Poem by E.J. Waling

One
with
existence.
Contemplation.
Above
and slightly
skewed
of the
material.
Body,
ocean
material.
Contemplation.
Different.
Non atomic.
No structure.
Ethereal
Can’t be
touched.
Can’t be
seen.
Invisible
to the
cosmos.
Yet,
contemplation
is one.
One
with all
matter.
Ocean
body,
plant,
universe.
All
included.
All
Contemplate.
All
integral,
essential.
Without
all, there’d
be nothing!
Nothing
at all.
Nothing to
contemplate.

That was great, this is the first poem by you I've read and what a treat.

I obviously have no criticisms to offer you. Just want to say the cadence created by the topic and structure was excellent.

And you captured my definition of soul in your talk of contemplation being non-atomic. Its not a theological thing for me at all.

Soul is anything that we know exists without being able to pinpoint to biological underpinnings. Its what ties our physical being into consciousness and existence itself. One without the other is inscrutable.
