Vapor and Fragrance Float Far More Real than Spirits

Vapor and Fragrance Float Far More Real than Spirits

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The soul is mist, the soul is haze because

The soul does not exist.  It isn’t haze

Or mist since they are part of physics laws.

The soul is not.  The soul is just a phase

Of human superstition which the priests

And shamans tricked our brains to think that souls

Are real.  Religions instigate set feasts

To take advantage of insistent holes

In hearts which want impossibilities

Like loving from this, that or other god

Though there have never been divinities.

Our hearts are always wanting to be awed.

  The incense smoke in Easter Day perfumes,

    More real than soul, is hugged for fear of tombs.
