Two souls hang in golden scales
In perfect balance
He the body she the mind
It wasn’t always so
Once upon a happy time
They were honored for who they truly are
Bodymindsoul
Yin and Yang
A Unity
Then his mind
Became maddened
Then saddened
Her body was sold into slavery
Her mind they couldn’t shackle
So it lived, somewhat
Reassurance came to him
Only when he was
The Body
His ultra fine mind
Was damned with faint praise
And constant ribbing
Her body was disrespected
Pushed to the limits
And her capabilities questioned everyday
Somewhere along this treacherous path
Idealism honesty and vision
Were getting eroded
A thousand miles
Through the desert they walked
Shod in sandals
Rats will gnaw at your feet when you sleep
Vampires will swoop in when you bleed
To drool upon a potential feast
The evil ones may have their evil designs
But there is a certain something
That they cannot kill
Atlas shrugged causing
A seismic shift in awareness
And they remembered being whole once
They took back their souls
They took back their minds
And their bodies too and put them back together
They’re happy now
