Everything has a price

sorenbarrett

Some things are more important than the body

But what is more important than the soul?

A question even for moralists, tangled and knotty

when happiness and love are the goal

 

Not a question to put on the shelf

if you search deep within, you will find

the body or soul of one loved more than oneself

is all that comes to mind

            For without the mind, heart and soul the body would be no more than a lifeless lump of flesh and bones. Excellently penned soren. 😁👍

            • sorenbarrett

              Thanks Accidental I appreciate the review and kind words. And for what would one sell the mind, hear and soul? Yet many do.

                That soul, Soren - it's a tribute to your poetic skill that you almost convinced me I have one.

                • sorenbarrett

                  I've got two souls Dave and they are both on the bottom of my feet. I always find myself tripping over them. Thanks for the review Dave it's appreciated.

                • Thomas W Case

                  Powerful and poignant. Well done.

                • Bella Shepard

                  You find a place where poetry and philosophy meet, in this wonderful verse. Would that we truly understood, and lived by it, such a world it would be.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Bella I am always honored by your reviews and comments. Please write some more poems of your own in that I find great pleasure in them and I think I have read all that you have written.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Your full attention here Bella:

                      I'll second that, Soren.

                      • sorenbarrett

                        How did that happen? Dave my apologies I have to go find out what happened to Bella

                        • sorenbarrett

                          • Bella Shepard
