Good luck with this. Almost hymn-like, it appeals to the inner core with the help of your image. A strong connection between the two.
Good rhymes in your abab system, and a good colour scheme to portray health with the colour, yellow

Good luck in the competition,
RGstar

This is a very powerful piece. You communicate your theme clearly. The rhyming enhances the piece. The word choice enhances the piece.

The soul is hard to define. I like what you say about it being God's image. So much to ponder. Deep does call out to deep. Best to you in the contest.

Very nice writing of this poem. Liked the very simple art image you chose for your poem. My understanding is that the soul is the life God put into man so he could move and function and think and be aware of his surrounds. But I do appreciate the ancient Indian Vedic Philosophy. I learned something new with this post.

To RPSaxena,
Yes we are made in the image of God and for a good reason; we as humans could never make it through life without Him to lead and guide us; though He has given us freedom of choice. But look where it has got us.
And then, there is Born Again-where we leave our fleshly, sinful bodies behind and follow Christ, 24-7 in the spiritual realm, where we become all new creatures and leaving our former life and lusts behind.
Charlene

Dust we are made from. The breath of God is blown into us. We are His breath and makes a complete circle back to Him. Life is like a vapor. The soul is what it is. Well done poet. Shalom.

Five good stanzas in abab rhyme. It is a worthy entry for the Ode contest. The soul is always thought of as that indefinable entity of which we know so little. But you have given us your definition and written a good poem. We use the word soul when we refer to someone as being soulless - or as being a good soul without actually really thinking about its meaning. But your definition made a good read. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

A very intellectual and philosophical poem which is highly inspirational. It gives a sense of reunion between man and God and our soul. We stand immersed into our future and what it has to bring in now we can affect ourselves to do it.
Thank you so much for sharing this with others including myself. Your rhyming was neither forced, labored or strained. NU rhythm float so well it made it easy for me to read your poem. May you have a good one and God bless.
Alex
