Poetic Moment

Sometimes, when I'm too tired, I get the urge to write poetry. This feels like one such moment. So, here goes!

Give me a penny for my thoughts
One shiny coin
And I will bare my mind to you
Though not my soul
For I do not know where it resides

The Body
The Mind
The Soul
The Essentials
One soul so elusive
Like the penny that fell

Behind my altar to you

And was forgotten
And left there
Until it was
Shiny no more

With a hidden soul
So hidden be
Faith
Love
Joy
In the dusty crevice

Behind my altar to you
