An idea who's time has come!

A morning after
When my spirit is somewhat low,
I run,
to connect my body to my soul,
and pump some adrenalin into my spirit.
But running disengages me even further
my physical suffering disintegrates me,
now I'm back and there's almost no connection anymore.
My soul floats empty in the air,
my body floats empty in the chair,
I'm neither here nor there.
Shalom Haver.
