It is SO interesting, because this poem could not come from U.S. or Europe, where peoples' minds have become numbed and selfish individualism is too strong, so this gives your wonderful cry for freedom an exotic air. But our lines are so philosophical, and not too emotional, and therein lies their strength. It is an intoxicating poem that one yearns to hear read aloud.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445997176174265322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867053657182353336.post-52133460392762842702015-07-01T18:53:37.216-07:002015-07-01T18:53:37.216-07:00It is good to continue to listen to the song the s...It is good to continue to listen to the song the soul sings.

Such a simple concept, yet many have trouble realizing how to obtain it. Sometimes we unintentionally create our own obstacles that prevent us from achieving this goal.I loved this line..., "I listen to the song my soul sings".
