The Body, The Mind, The Soul.

The Body, The Mind, The Soul.

A Poem by The StoryTeller
"

You'll see what it's about by reading this. :p

"
Here we go again in circles,
Just like all our yesterdays.
Was it yesterday we last did this?
Or tomorrow?

This feels like I'm in a time machine,
Spinning endlessly around,
Day to day to tomorrow to today to yesterday,
The way you change your mind changes like a stoplight.

Who are you?
Are you bad?
Are you good?
These questions swirl in your mind.

Body, Mind, and Soul.
The Body lusts after what it can't have.
The Body is frail and not everlasting.
The Body is your only connection here.

The Mind; you.
You, The Mind, change your Mind over and over again.
To get lost in you is to go insane.
You, with your petty trifles and no heart are a killer.

The Soul.
Who is the Soul?
The Soul is I.
The Soul is me.

How long must we be divided and fight?

Is there a possible way to love something too much?
The metaphors - the... the whole thing.
I'm bad at speaking, by the way.
Just... whoa.

My favorite lines (and why):
"Here we go again in circles,
Just like all our yesterdays.
Was it yesterday we last did this?
Or tomorrow?" - I love it when authors use tomorrow as a present time. I don't know how to exclaim it, but it's like you're saying that the future needs as much appreciation - as much thought - in everything that it effects. I especially love it when authors say "yesterday" instead of saying the past; it's stating that the past isn't always about the good or bad things. It's about what happened yesterday, and what you can do today to change it.

"Day to day to tomorrow to today to yesterday,
The way you change your mind changes like a stoplight." - If I explained why I loved this part, you'd be perplexed for the rest of your life, and you'd spend endless days trying to figure it out.

"The Body is frail and not everlasting.
The Body is your only connection here." - I love how it says that, even though we are within this piece of flesh, it is not us - our body is but an armor to protect the real values of each person.

"The Mind; you.
You, The Mind, change your Mind over and over again." I absolutely ADORE this. We can't change our mind without changing who we are - since we are always changing our mind and thinking about different things, we are changing, also - we are nothing without our minds. (Which reminds me of my book. xD)

I didn't see any flaws whatsoever... and I honestly don't know how to describe the feeling I got after reading this. Beautiful!!!
