Mind, Body, Spirit, Soul

I thank you

My mind questions life,

Learns a new me on a daily basis,

Rises to the occasion when questions are asked,

Gives home to some of my most obsessive thought,

Constantly grows,

Mind — I thank you.

**

My body moves as I demand it,

Houses my mind, my spirit and my soul,

Aches when I have a lesson to learn,

Or when I mistreat it in some way,

Feels pleasurable sensations,

Body — I thank you.

**

My spirit energises my body, my mind,

Supplies the electrical currents that make me,

Flows with the physical nature of our world,

Houses my precious soul,

Protects and guards,

Spirit — I thank you.

**

My soul is all that is me,

A storage of my memories, my lessons, my dreams, my sorrows,

Is immortal and eternal,

Is the guiding light of my essence,

The totality of all that makes me unique,

Soul — I thank you.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
