Topic: body and soul

the body is
a temporary frame
capable of housing
noble souls
seek safety
in compassion's arms
and shelter
in love's wings

love's wings sounds forced and, at best, cliche, worst— corny.
but it doesn't seem to matter too much here, you made it work.

I liked it.

so true and yet so untrue, because it doesn't happen that way too often. We humans have to be really against the wall to be noble...mostly.

I agree, it does work but I also agree that "noble souls" doesn't ring true.  I stumble over that every time I read it.  Perhaps find another adjective.  Also, have you tried adding punctuation?  I find it also adds impact.

All this aside, I did enjoy it.  Thank you!
