My soul is in the sky. ~William Shakespeare
This body
is grounded held to
this earth by
gravity
a force we cannot see nor
touch with tethered hands
The inner
soul that rides within
tarries light
hidden from
view waiting for the gates to
open wide and clear
It is an
elaborate plan
no man could
design it
nor engineer the true code
it is in God's hands.

A truly excellent poem. Yes it is all in God's hands. I love the "Shakespeare" feel to this.
