The Battle Between Body And Soul Poem by Manoshi Sinha

What the verve! What the gaiety!
When the soul and body were attuned;
Life was vibrant, rich, and animated
Blissful visages stimulated chronic life.
Those were the days!

They say after spring comes summer;
Ere long autumn and winter hold sway;
If spring brings hope, the cycle afresh
Why does the body cease to spring up,
When winter bids adieu?

Paralyzed puppets in the hands of destiny
Oh! Strange is the cycle of life! Sigh!
When the battle between life and death,
Begins with renewed zest and fervor;
The glorious soul rejoices, the body fades!

As the body cruises in this journey,
Light and darkness are but humdrum,
Why this eclipse in the winter of life?
