eternal riddle

in the catacomb
   of books, in the
      lonely
   dark, i seek the
soul.

i scrutinize
   endless corridors
      of pages, dive
   deep into whispering

   labyrinths of
words.

words that flicker
   like fireflies in the
      dark, flash like
   lightning across
infinity.

words see. words touch.
   words feel. words
      feed the soul.
   words
breathe.

the soul is made of
   words like a body is
      made of
bones.

words remember. words
   imagine. words
      make
love.

words proclaim the
   eternal within
us.

we swim & dream
   in words &
      dress in
definitions.

i search for metalic,
   magnetic, radiant words
      & mine them in
   energetic
chunks.

elusive soul is
   glowing in these
      words, i
swear,

& cosmic soul is
   flowing
everywhere.
