Characteristics

Can one describe a person’s soul?

How does one capture the essence of humanity?

Are we bound to a few small words?

Rarely are things simple

And words can capture many things

Can they describe a soul?

To sum up a person one can list

Every characteristic that comes to mind

Resticting them to small descriptors

Insisting those small descriptions are their being

Still how does one describe a soul?

To limit one’s perception to common traits

Is not a wise course of action

Characteristics can say a lot about perception

Souls themselves are beyond language
