Line of inquiry for contest:

“I am not the body, which is but dust
I am not fickle and limited mind
To whom then comes the feral thrust of lust
Or for that matter, thoughts loving and kind”

“Dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19 King James Bible In time, I will return to dust, in this circle of life- of birth, life and death; so, living each moment is a must, and embracing this journey 'til that very last breath. I am not unpreditable, or fickle, not narrow minded or with thoughts confined; a friend who will give her last nickel, looking at my journey with open eyes and not blind. Often, I have had a feral drive, a ferocious thrust, and push to just succeed; with such a hungry lust to strive, and been left stabbed in the heart to weep, to bleed. In the end I am left with soul, with a spirit faithful, caring and always kind; though, I did not reach each goal, and to whatever my afterlife fate I am totally resigned.

Dear Constance, What a great existential poem! I loved how you bridge biblical references with personal reflections, creating a piece that is both contemplative and relatable. I think you will do great in the contest because your words are well-executed, providing a thoughtful exploration of human nature and mortality. - Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Deep write! Corpse will be dust, to its origin. But soul may goes up or down, i believe. Have a nice time lovely Constance! ~AA
