Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings

Pureness, peace, compassion, bliss, Power, and Wisdom, That links my reason-spirit body-soul system; Tells me that my physique is a temple of God, Though my day-to-day existence is flighty odd...! Sufferings and pains wreck my delicate physique, The feasibility of survival is bleak; Jabs and tingles and stings and burns, and fleshly aches, Sake my body; break it; leave it like mere sweepstakes...! Do, yet, though wings get clipped, birds ever fail to sing? Don't, midst caste, color, and creed gulfs wedding bells ring? Physique, though a bundle of flesh, blood, veins, and bones, Aren't there, within, caves of metaphysical zones...? Joy is within, as fragrance within the flower, Isn't the spirit, more than flesh, give me power? Physical aches can't imprison the psychic zings, This is why though bones ache my heart cheerfully sings...!!! 18 June 2023 Bones ache yet heart sings Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
