Breaking Free

The Soul lurches upward
  trying to break free

The Body ropes it
  wrestling desperately

This constant struggle
  does not enlighten me

With my dyslexia, I had always thought they were doughy hole-nuts. Thanks for the illuminations, Rico. :) gw

Sometimes it is so hard to make a decision, because knowing that the outcome is unalterable, becomes a mental dilemma. This one is Solid Gershon!!...ab

Sometimes I feel that very real conflict. First one, then the other attempts to wrestle free. I definitely am still not enlightened!
