Only the Soul Am I

Only the Soul Am I

—after “No Birth, No Death” 

No father, no mother, no sister, no brother—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

No city, no country, no gender, no race—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

I am not the iron in this blood—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

 I am not the air in these lungs—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

I am not the muscle, not the bones—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

Not the skin, not the nerves—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

Not the hair, not the teeth—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

Not the brain, not the mind—
Only the soul am I
Only the soul.

Only the soul am I—
Only the immortal, eternal, divine soul.
