Human Hotel
They say we are two beings in one.
Physical and Spiritual beings coexisting.
I often wonder if it isn't more.
What about a Emotional being
Or a Mental being all existing together.
And might there be a fifth being,
Controlling or managing all the beings,
Like a traffic controller keeping all the members together.
Perhaps that is why we feel so conflicted at times.
The different parts that make us, who we are
Disagree on what we should be doing.
We are all trying to co-exist in this human hotel.
Each element of the human knowing it is important.
Perhaps even thinking it's running the show.
Needing to learn how to work together.

Interesting again.
Wonderful poem. Thanks for sharing with us!
I like the repetitive style of your poem. It is an effective way of drawing attention to something in a very gentle way...

YOu can only control yourself.
