Body & Spirit
Without a body and soul
All that man treasures would I not wish to have
Power, love and riches that invoke greed and lust
Within the depth of my spirit still lays a desolate plea
over the agonizing flesh are turbulent desires
The possibilities are limitless, and that is Awesome.
& I am filled with Awe that the body is just an instrument that I've been given to express my spirit
Body and spirit to harbor my thoughts and innocent desires
spirit to discern times and tides
body to make steps and leave a mark on the fine sands of these earth
breathe from my spirit as i explore the depth and texture of God given air
But between the body and spirit is a waging war
fighting with the principalities and desires that shield me from worldly realities
wrongs that the body and spirits conspire igniting me to flames
are still the same that inflict me with plague.
The liberation of the mind seemingly the battle field is left with broken bones
At times its the body that takes the proud run, only to fight another day
The spirit still too week at times, but soberness only the cure
To wade of bad intuition that make the body feel insecure
This is a pretty poem that depicts both our bodies and our spirits in life. Thanks.
