This whole thing gave me goosebumps as I read it! It's something to ponder, very thought-provoking and sad in one way and almost scary in another but such is life....or death, right??
Whenever someone dies it also gets me thinking about the souls of the dead and where they escape to...
and I think you really nailed that pensiveness.

I REALLY appreciate the finishing line for this poem;

Isn't every soul fundamentally good?

That is a very good question. One I've been asking for a long time, it seems somewhere I heard that most people want to do the right thing, to try to better themselves but I don't know how true it may be, Who CAN know that?

Anyways, Sorry, this got me rambling on - It just provoked a lot of thoughts for me

Great read
