Poems about the Body
and Soul
Storm and Calm
We hold the storm
Lungs containing the wind
Voice, thunder
Eyes cry the tears of rain
Pummeling our spirit with the fury of the tempest
We hold too the calm
Heartbeat slowing to the Earth’s rhythm
Breath as cool zephyrs
Whispered flutters of gossamer butterfly wings
Settling to the stillness of the night
Yin, yang
Dawn, sunset
Spring, summer
Autumn, winter
The mystery and magic of infinite eternity
All held in the oneness of our souls
Body and Light
Our bodies
Are but lanterns
‘Tis our spirits
Are the light
Lattice
We are all part
Of an interconnected web
Intersecting the physical and spiritual planes
‘Tis not a net ensnaring us
But rather a lattice, a framework, sustaining us
As we strive to understand
Ourselves, our fellows
The world, and the cosmos
Which, together
We each and all comprise
And, they, us
