the body

i wrote this some years ago... its one of my favs.... i guess its a spiritual question.

 

 

 

THE BODY

The body a mesh

Of hair, nails and flesh

Muscles and strong bone

Its just the body

The mind stands alone

 

Full of life and blood red

But what happens when your dead

The muscles and flesh rot away

Bones become brittle and decay

 

What about the memories

What about the morals

What about what’s in your mind

Don’t they travel with the soul

They don’t get left behind

Ahah! I have pondered this question myself. I think the answer of "what happens when we die" can only be answered by the individual themselves. We have different thoughts, beliefs, philosophies. For me, we aren't created, nor do we ever disappear. We just change forms. Very nice write!

That is a great question..? i've neva thought about it in that way..but now its making me wonder after reading this..I think we would all hope that our memories of our loved ones would travel with our soul..but that is a really good question like i said..i really like this poem though it was easy to read and it made me think..
