I always seem to wonder, perhaps

My life is for souls to touch this

Magnet that is

Take all the lessons and filter

Everything in it. Only take the things

That matter the most. Something that

You cannot touch

But feel like a 

Warmth touching your soul.

When you learn and 

You feel, you tend to

Take everything and hold

Onto it like they're the 

Last strains

On a rope till

It snaps like a

Pencil. Or a pen

Is all that can

Shape and mold

Life into a feeling

Into

A form.
