I've often imagined
that life was more than just my skin
my soul that dwells
my mind that dreams
my heart that loves
combined are more than the sum of their parts

just what is heaven
is it something that can be grasped by effort
or is it granted
not just supplanted
can be enchanted
like a fairy world invisible from human eyes

are our souls eternal
or do they disappear when leaving our remains
could it be energy
that soon will be free
once it is gone from me
becoming one with rivers of all time and space

I often think of fate
as something partly of a making not our own
is it a sacrifice
or a throw of dice
or something to entice
us to be something that we'd really rather be

thoughts that many must have had at one time or another. flowing format. Will you be working this into a song? Or just the flow of thoughts at this time. Made me pause and think about life. Thank you.

And thank you for your comments. I don't really know what I will end up doing with this--somehow, the words just came out and I didn't really think of any particular music. I just get the words out and see what will come of them.
