The old story goes
That when we die our soul soars
And ascends to the heavens above
But who really knows?
What is my soul,
My spirit, essence, energy, aura or glow?
Where is my soul
When I’m alive?...
I really don’t know
Because it’s supposedly there
Before we die
And like a fire, it’s said
That our souls burn inside
It’s seen in our heart and eyes
Scientifically and theoretically
Was my soul there at day 21
When my heart started beating
With regulation
Or when my ecto-, endo-, and mesoderm
Started their primitive migration?
Or when my synctiontropoblast invaded
During implantation?
Was my soul there at the first division?
The very start of differentiation
Because if you believe a soul is placed
There upon conception’s congregation
Then that’s to say you believe a soul
Is the product on an acrosome’s penetration
The culmination of a spermatocyte
Causing the zone pellucid depolarization
So is there a soul in a sex cell,
That’s haploid before our chromosomes’ combination?
Because even the novel sequences of the DNA
That makes us have known configurations
Ribose sugars, a nucleic acid
Chained helix and some phosphorylation
And those are each composed of known atoms
In different orientations
Is our soul there,
In the empty spaces between our atom’s nucleus,
And orbital rotations?
If our soul has energy then must it not have mass
That takes up some space in physical manifestation?
Or is it aura, a light of a massless glow
That emits from within us like radiation?
Is our soul really just the fact,
That we are aware and have come to higher realization,
A figment of our imagination,
Designed uniquely for the thought of self preservation?
But why then, when we are angry,
Our minds sense so much frustration?
And when we are happy
It’s our whole body that feels elation?
In sadness our entire essence is struck
In an act of desperation
And in love it is our entire being
That craves more of that sensation
You see
We don’t know what most of the universe is comprised of
But we still all see the beauty of its creation
That’s why even though we may never find
The soul inside us
I still hope your soul is my soul’s destination
