When I Finally Shed This Body Poem by Patti Masterman
When I Finally Shed This Body
When I finally shed this body,
I'll be light as a wisp of an angel,
Inviolate as a fairy's potent kiss,
Quick as the velvet wings of a moth.
Like ancient dust from old paper-mache,
Or a husk of cocoon wavering away;
The vaporous draught of some mystery,
(The hidden vesicle of living flame)
Are you talking about the soul or the body or something else?
Your words did a good job of shedding their body and creating the image. Great poem celebrating the spirit that inhabits us all.
