How Nature Punished the Body

Nature has a way of punishing the body,
if it's not well cared for.
The punishment is to the flesh but
an inconvenience to the dweller
within the flesh. 
The body complains of pain and suffering,
as the dweller,
reflecting Itself as
high projects,
great purposes, and
noble inspirations.
As the body becomes ill,
Nature demolished it back to dust,
another imperfect reflection.

Very good, KP. Nature has taken a toll on me, that is undeniable. One thing is certain we will all return to dust. Good to read another post from you. Have a large weekend:)
