Spiritual and Inspirational poetry that touch the heart and soul, and provoke the mind.
No rack can torture me,
My soul’s at liberty,
Behind this mortal bone
There knits a bolder one
You cannot prick with saw
Nor rend with scimitar,
Two bodies therefore be;
Bind one, and one will flee.
The eagle of his nest
No easier divest
And gain the sky,
Than mayest thou,
Except thyself may be
Thine enemy;
Captivity is consciousness,
So’s liberty.

Not In Vain
