Do old myths explain the journey of the soul?

Question: Do old myths explain the journey of the soul!?

THE TEMPLE GATE

Tread lightly at the temple gate
of the eternal forest, where I dwell,
poised at the waters edge
where the ivy is forever green
and the rowan tree has fallen
across the stream of destiny,
where the borders of many minds
do flow and ebb and merge,
changing shape, revealing
new souls, gathered from the rain,
like energy released, then gathered
into a single mind, and set free!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Elyslund has also used the Rowan tree in her mythology-based poems!. This mother of all trees is a powerful metaphor!. It is a shame most people--even poets--do not understand the reference!. Your poem is beautiful and mysterious!. It illustrates a firm knowledge of mythology, something I personally have loved since childhood!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually do not know a lot about mythology, but I saw a book the other day at Borders and picked it up!. I haven't started reading it yet, but I can't wait to finish my current book and start it! I loved your poem!. The imagery in this poem is astounding, I had such a stunning, mystical picture in my mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
