Song of Body

The world may appear as a ghost
asking silly questions: “Who are you?”
and “What are you doing?”

It's only the body you can trust.

Body knows its needs
and proceeds directly to fill them.
Its greatest chorus of song:
smooth working systems.

Song of Spirit

We all know the body breaks down
and can fail completely,
pain and death just before the dawn.

What then can anyone say?
Hope’s a young man's song.

When you're old and crippled,
any song is a song of spirit,
taught and learned through struggle.

Spirit's song, a product of soul,
is the stronger song.
