A poem based on 'Some Questions You Might Ask' by Mary Oliver.
What is the Soul?

What is the soul?
How big is it?
Could it be expanded out of our body,
or is it as big as your nail?
Who has the right as a living thing to have it?
Breathing, moving creatures,
or ones that everybody forgets are alive?
What is the soul?
Is your soul the reason for how you act,
who you love,
or is it just where your zest for life is kept?
Will your soul perish with your body,
or maybe it will wander the Earth aimlessly?
What is the soul?
