Illness

The body filled with inflammation..
A lightening bolt of pain
Shooting rapidly..
Body immersed in states of agony..

The mind dwells in slow motion..
As mind tries to digest agony
It tries desperately to overcome rapid shots..
Throbbing..
Pain delivered throughout..
The mind wrestles for combat..
In a war with pain..
An Invader had taken over ..
Holding back the fight
Holding back the tears..
Until the mind breaks into a moan ..
Lump in throat..
A waterfall of tears flow..
Cries of pain..
Cries of fear..
Afraid of the unknown..
Why is the question..

Spirit..
Spirit observes..
Sees the body..
knows the mind
Knows itself..
Feels emotions .. 
As suffering is felt and known throughout
An expanded vision of all..
Everything that is..
The spirit knows all to well what the body says..
As the mind creates a barrier of protection.. 
The body is a temple..
The spirit is an eternal temple 

Spirit radiates only love..
As all of our spirits glide 
We achieve growth in experience
Of duality..
Joy..
Pain..
Burning flames of love spreading eternally..
In the end..
There is no end..
A continuation of love forever..

I concur with previous poets. One,s pain, whatever it is, distinguishes the desire to go on.too bad. We must let the pain be. We must be bigger than the pain. Choose life and freedom. Pen..poetry of the spirit. Make a difference in your life and someone else’#||— Panagiota))))

What an elaborate explanation of the poetry-physiology of illness. You captured it not only in an interesting way but with great fascination.

Illness is devastation on the body but also on mind. You illustrated it expertly in this emotive write, Robertina.
