Softly Determinate

How long the soul's lifetime?
I suddenly wonder
convinced was I, certain
of Death's sure release;
the truth of compulsion
revealing at random
that will nor intention
provides such relief.
My musing mind wanders
this heart to imagine
a moment of Being
not also compelled;
this Spirit's conclusion
in failure to do so:
that Love's permeation
is central to Self.
And if the soul's lifetime
extends beyond living
existing in tandem
with all things Divine,
then sweet resolution
comes holy and welcome:
compelled am I, ever -
compelled am I, Thine.
