I Am But A Vessel

I am but a vessel,
A husk carrying a seed.
This reality
No longer real to me.
Facing a test of time
And limitations,
Of painful
Temptations.
When I'm faced with the test,
As my body lays to rest,
Will I be willing to give all I am,
Give up the materials of man,
And share my love, my soul, my time,
To realise that they were never mine,
To help the wayward soul,
Brokendown at the side of the road?
When it comes down
To them or me,
Will I be able to see,
We're here for our soul to grow,
Our minds to sew?
It's only in the acceptance of the unknown,
That this world has become less cold.
