Aging Body, Boundless Soul
The temporary dwelling
of the boundless soul
is the aging body where time takes its toll
The temporary dwelling
of the conscious mind
is the aging body where time can't rewind
The temporary dwelling
of the sentient core
is the aging body where time takes its score
The temporary dwelling
of the gentle heart
is the aging body where time can't restart
The temporary dwelling
of the human breath
is the aging body where time takes its death
