Remembering Poem by Rani Turton
Remembering
Remonstrating against all memories and desires
Is the modern way; arrogant freedom beckons unless the body,
Unappeased by what should be done wants to follow another way
The body has its own burning hunger and it is not what all imagine
The body has its own destiny and desire and sway.
When pain and fever rack the physical sphere
When the brain follows its logic and the body its desire
And the spirit yearns for a fulfilling sun
Tell the body what should be done?
Reason and rationality are the lodestones of existence
And reason dictates our every sphere
But when reason flees, and leaves only illogicality behind
What 's to be done? Follow another sun?
The body has its identity and that is a personality
That walks and speaks with reasoning ease
Alas when that identity walks away and the personality flees
Is that the beginning of mortal disease?

sad to say to think about it, losing identity/unable to recognize you/confusion amnesia/dementia..such a deep thought to reckon...nice concept...well written.... Ency Bearis
A very poignant poem here, a lot to think about, to lose ones identity is to lose ones soul. The road we take as individualsis never straight and narrow, enjoyed this food for thought write 10 Chris
yes...losing one’s identity is a disease in itself...walks and words are the limbs affected here...a ‘three direction run’ by one single soul the body the brain and the mind way...a compromise if achieved, so far so good...a good insightful poem, Rani...congrats 10/10
