Where is the Soul

Mind, Body, Soul

Deedra Rowe
Where can man find his soul?
Is it his mind and body together,
or is it a place inside him that only God
knows where to look?

Is it the soul that makes a man feel sad or lonely?
Is it man who wills his own emotions?
What makes a man think? And what makes a man dream?
And where does love, hate, sadness, and contentment originate?

How do I find this place in my body where all emotions start, and
how can I make the hurt and pain go away? How can I fill the empty
places in my heart for what I have lost? And how do I know that I have really lost
anything at all? How do I stop the hurt in my heart each time I draw in a breath of air
that I must have in order to live? And why do I continue to live with despair or live at all?

Where can I find this hidden place in my being that controls my emotions and make it
change what hurts, into something that makes me happy? Or why can't that place just let
me forget?

This is a writing or poem, if you wish, that I wrote during a very difficult time in my life. I wanted to find the part of me that caused the painful feelings and make it stop the hurt.
