The Pieces of the Soul
by Tom King
In the beginning God formed a man from dust,
The elements of the Earth woven into every cell.
Made altogether of the stuff his home planet was made of.
Ready for the installation of what will make him whole.
When the dust was fully formed into a man, and then
God bent down and breathed into his empty lungs.
And with the divine breath, life coursed through his veins
And the man became a living soul.
Before the body and the breath, the man was nothing.
Supernatural mathematics is here at work.
Body plus Breath becomes a living soul,
A sum much greater than its parts.
And when I lay me down to sleep at life's conclusion,
My soul remains only in the mind of God,
To awake when body and breath are reunited,
And if we answer He says, "Rise!" And gives to us eternity.
