The world we live in is inhabited
by machinery and countless bodies.
The bodies are used to operate the machines,
the machines are used to feed the bodies.
But inside each body, there is a soul,
hiding from the world of bodies and machines.
A soul, little for not knowing its greatness,
fragile for not knowing its strength,
meek for not knowing its power.
A sparkle of divinity,
waiting to be recognized,
urging to be seen.
A feeling, reaching out
through matter without purpose,
diving into another body,
searching for another soul,
to touch, to feel, to love.
Thus giving meaning to this world.
