Elohai N'shamah

Looking through my old poetry, I found this gem, a meditation on Elohai N'shamah:

God, is my soul pure?
Is it true, what I've been told?
Did You take the time to create it,
to shape it, to breathe it into me?
Is it a gift or a burden?
Is it on loan?
(I can't pay the interest.)
God, is my soul pure?
