    God put a soul in us for a reason. It may be a river that continues on flowing to make our inner depht and everything that's within grow and flourish. Great write (:

    One thing I have reflected on before that I feel is worth mentioning is how water in in of itself is pure, but being the universal solvent, it carries things it passes over. In other words, water itself is pure, just like the soul which too can become tarnished by the environment around it. This was a good poem, very personal and reflective. You articulated your thoughts very elegantly.

    I personally feel like the word "soul" is far too often used in poetry, becoming in my mind a bit of a cliche, but this poem brought me out of that thinking a little bit, since you were able to expound on it in such a fantastic way.

      Now that you mentioned about water tht it carries things it passes over... Water does absorb minerals, right? If we were to drink distill water in large quantities, the water would absorb the minerals tht our body has, right? Edit: Oops, nevermind. I think I just repeated what you said.
