You only get one soul
A lantern lit in the palm of God
Before the rivers were carved
Before the stars learned their names
It is the hush inside your heartbeat
The ember He pressed into your chest
So you would never forget
You were born from light
You can wander deserts of your own making
Lose yourself in the noise of lesser fires
Trade your holiness for hollow crowns
Yet the soul keeps glowing
Patient as dawn
Faithful as breath returning
For it remembers Eden
It remembers the Voice
That called it out of nothing
And wrapped it in eternity
Tend it like a secret garden
Water it with prayer
Let it kneel
Let it rise
Let it burn with the quiet certainty
That heaven is its homeland
Because you only get
One soul
One fragile
Blazing miracle
One eternal thread
God wove through your mortal days
To lead you back to Him
