Strangers* Poem by C. P. Sharma
Strangers*
What a strange relationship?
My body and the spirit lived together the whole life,
But couldn’t dialogue! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
* I owe the thought to the Urdu poet
I can hear echoes of Rumi? The 'body' and 'soul' are like strangers in the night exchanging glances, hesitating to communicate, speculating the chances! Till one gets dissolved and the other departs; Such thoughts only sadden my heart! - Raj Nandy
A very meaningful one... We know that spirit and body works along together but it us who wouldn't work Same as 'The spirit is willing but the Flesh is weak' Great write, Sir...makes us reflect...and dig deeper into our inner self.. 10+++ lovelots, Maia
A poignant title. Meaningful lines. 10/10. Kind regards, Sandra
well I don't talk to the bus that carries me although I sometimes coax my car along hee hee: -) but my body carries my spirit and we are great travel companions except when my body goes wrong or we run out of fuel ; -) Ruthy
:) You really make me think; formulated like this it seems really strange - like an anomaly - the lack of dialogue between body and spirit, we are so used to this, that we rarely think about it. You make me wanna talk to my organs :) but alas I find they do not listen to me. You make me feel like marionette :) . Good work!
The body holds the ego, the spirit is our own true self, while the ego battles with itself, our spirit is eternal and serene. Wonderful wisdom in just three lines.
