BODY- Oh, Hollow strumpet of flesh and bone!
Your intricate fibers flare forth----- sensation:
The father of yearning, the daughter of gratification.
Bodily pleasure and pain bloated, grating, gluttonous,
Sucking in and out- each moment's desperate gasp!
A vehicle for physical experience, encasing self,
Bearing pleasure and pain in spasmodic gulps,
The body manifests the illusion of body-self identification,
Holding the true self, the secret Eucharist of being,
Hidden deep inside its corroding tabernacle.
Mind- Oh, mysterious awareness of thought and being!
You are the bodily control center- caught up in desire,
Cognizance central- sending forth signals of the I am.
You are more than meshed gray matter's cerebral soup,
Being a unique sphere of existence- thought- reason- ideas,
Radiating incarnate conceptions: Beauty- Art- Music- Philosophy.
The plot unfolding- mental energy moves in random designs,
Enriching our beings with a fine-tuning of experience.
Which puts in focus: perceptions emotions relationships.
SOUL- Oh, indescribable nothing of all importance!
Thirsting for life's rugged encounter's delusions.
An inner encasement of essential awareness and being.
The Indestructible Mobius Strip of realization is
Chasing its tail into Eternity- trying to savor itself.
Perpetuating far beyond body and mind into
The unfathomed realms of pure instantaneous existence,
Not detected by our senses or by scientific instruments,
The only reality; borne of the spirit,
Sailing on the vibrations of the eternal void.
