My Vessel- A Poem

I thought of my 3 parts this morning and some words came out:

 

My Vessel

Three parts: body, mind, and soul.


Body feels so small now

How can I bend forward and already be at my feet?


I thought I was bigger.


My beautiful feet-

Beautiful because of what they have allowed me


Motion

Drivers

Balance


I love them more now that


The path we’re on is so much shorter than it was before.


Mind is so much slower now

Why do I always seem to be forgetting something simple?


I wished for years for it to stop.


My beautiful brain-

Beautiful because it has connected and recorded so so many things


Sights

Smells

Ideas


I love it more now that


It works more in tandem with my feet.


Spirit is so much more content now

How can I express the delicious peace I am able to reach now?


I howled in pain for so long.


That beautiful spirit-

Beautiful in its veil of acceptance that slowly settles when allowed


All

Is

One


My feet.

My mind.

That spirit.
