My Body and I

where ere I go through hail and snow my body comes along,
I have to work each day for food to keep it well and strong.
“It’s” prone to every hazzard I could do well without,.
there are many laws of physics that without “him” I can flout.
When we go to sleep at night I leave “him” far behind,
I travel through the universe, “he” does’nt seem to mind.
it seems “he” needs his beauty sleep to recharge all his cells.
I have to shower him regularly to keep down all his smells.
Some gifted folk have learnt to vacate their bodies with some ease,
they travel wide just using thoughts through OOBEs
Think of all the problems occuring I can see,
if  I had to take “him” with me through all eternity.

    Yes! Out Of Body Experiences are the true nature adventures into the Spiritual World and the discoveries that are made to help all mankind. But the selfish only cause destruction even in the name of love, so it's no wonder they don't wish to share with the world but hoard it for themselves, as if they themselves made the discovery.
    Anyway, thanks for entering your heart into the contest. You've definitely touched mine.

    I love the image you have painted here, for we really are just spirits held in a physical form and you definitly identified with that! Love the humor as well.
    Good luck

    Interesting write here

    Oh the body is but a shell that houses the soul and through the mind we reach for all our goals sometimes it simply refuses and in this we twist and turn but still the soul remains within untill faith is earned

    Very original, this is something I've never seen before! Very well done, and I like the personification of the body.

    It seems!

    We all have chosen 'different parts of the elephant' to examine. maa and Margaret G have their work cut out for them. I haven't seen a bad entry yet. All bring some wonderful words to inspire and meditate on.

    a very joyful and lucid gaze upon the body, with which most of us identify, believing that we are that body ... yet, your title "my body and I" already invites us all to take a step back and to realize ourselves as the observers of the body ... and what can be observed, can, by no means, be "us" !
    a humourous, yet serious approach in verse ...
    thank you so much for your participation,

    maa

    I like the humour of this poem, speaking of one's body as a separate entity - good thing, since we age and change, that we don't have one forever!
    I enjoyed the bouncy meter and nice couplets as much as the funny look at corporeal life. Thanks for entering this poem in our contest!
