Soul and Body

**Soul and Body**

In a world where we often lose our way,

The body speaks loudly, day by day.

It craves attention, it seeks to be seen,

But the soul whispers softly, where truth lies serene.

We are not just vessels, mere flesh and bone,

Within us resides a spirit, our own.

The body is a vehicle, wild and unchained,

Our journey is to tame it, not be ruled or constrained.

The soul is the leader, wise and profound,

Guiding us gently, where love can be found.

It calls for connection, for kindness, for grace,

While the body can falter, and sometimes lose pace.

Narcissism beckons, a shadow in the light,

Yet the soul teaches us to rise and unite.

To see beyond surfaces, to recognize worth,

To nurture compassion, to cherish our Earth.

So let us embark on this journey within,

To learn from our struggles, to grow from our sin.

Let the soul be the governor, the voice of our heart,

In the dance of existence, let us play our part.

Together we’ll rise, hand in hand, side by side,

With our souls as our compass, our bodies the guide.

For a world that is better, where love takes its stand,

Is a world where the soul and the body understand.
