Disjointed
 
  My body lives on this planet earth

You can see me, touch me, feel me

I move through daily life

All, it seems, is normal

Yet well beneath the skin

Lives another human being

Who bears little resemblance to

This body which houses her

In and among the cells resides a soul

Quite separate from the body

A soul which drifts in and out of an ethereal world

Where needing is non-existent

Where the air is sweeter than any known here

Where dreams and reality intermingle seamlessly

I live 2 lives

Skin, a skull, bones, muscles, organs, which move in unison

To the beat of the doldrums of this life

At the same time, an invisible soul soaring above the surface

watching the body move through its daily functions

A soul which feels only joy and lightness

A soul which is free to 'imaginate' an ideal reality

A soul which makes the existence of life in the body bearable

A soul which furtively fuels the body and regenerates the mind

By its very invisible-ness

No one can steal what they cannot know exists

No one can rob the intangible from the cracks and crevices of this body

It is known only to me

And there it shall remain, my true source of life

C.Lynn Ferguson
