Mind, body and soul.

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Halfway up the staircase
deprived of rays of sun
feeling colder step by step
knowing you're not done
.
Self assurance faltering
on every landing reached
the mind your only fortress
assailed but never breached
.
Know you must keep going
and remember: body straight
just hold on to the railing
and know you're doing great
.
Soul the only motivator
must not loose the groove
the last step coming nearer
with every groan and move
.
when you finally reach the top
without the strength to run
I'll be there out on the roof
to warm you with the sun.
.
Mind, body and soul.

Always remember that however hard life can seem to be, your eternal soul has only one goal: to grow, to grow it needs to experience, to experience it needs to be realized and to be realized it needs a finite body. When you drive a Mercedes you know you're not the car, same holds for your life and body. At some point you will get out of that car/life/body and only the eternal soul experience remains. Keep this in mind when you are struggling in life and love, you are allowed to fear but it's not mandatory. You only live once and that's forever!

Awesome poem man. I love the message you are sending. I am sure you will have success here with those wise words. Motivating people to feel great is probably one of the hardest things to do.

Very true... "Self assurance faltering
on every landing reached
the mind your only fortress
assailed but never breached" - This is a lesson to learn for everybody... amazing work @madevi and welcome to Steemit Poets United :)
