"Our Souls Will Go On"
In The Sadnesses of Our Cornered, Aging Hearts, I perceive
with wisdom that defies understanding nor reason, that
our souls will endure in this place long after we die
even forever!  Not only our souls, but our spirits, our energy,
all the ways we gave ourselves to this land, the land
will take us home someday, yet we will live on.  That in us
which is immortal is that which gazes at the stars at night
is that which prays to God and loves the changing seasons
Our Spirits are of this land, like our indian ancestors before,
We gave our lives to this land and we live by it and shall die by it
But I realised, that Theodore and I have immortal sad wise spirits
within our hearts which will endure in the world around us
goodness that will be given back to the earth someday
new youth will rise, we will be in them too
our spirits will go on in this land that remembers us so deep, so well.
Long after we have passed into death, our memory will live on
the land will call out our names and our answers will echo in the wind
we will be no more bound to the flesh but of God, and we will
rest with the land we've worked for and loved and died for.
Our Spirits will go on and on and on, enduring, in memory...
Together, Theodore and I.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen////
