Body and Soul  2014-44

 

The very essence of the soul of man,

Resides, perhaps, in the confines of the mind.

The totality of the feelings of man,

Are, in reality, the very thoughts of the soul.

The body is but used as a convenient vessel,

For the soul’s long journey through life.

Comprised from many chemicals and minerals,

The body is a shell for the soul to inhabit.

At deaths door, the soul departs the useless body,

For a continued life far beyond imagination.

To where – is not for man to decide, only for God,

But with certainty it goes, never to return.

Gone, but with hope, never to be forgotten,

By those left behind in body and soul.
