Built

A body is a castle
Made of towers
Walls
Turrets
Battlements
Keeps
Corridors
Halls
Windows
Stairways
Stone

All these things make a body
A thousand parts for a thousand purposes
All of them coming together
Creating something complex
Not alive
Not beautiful

But functional
A quiet respect for the empty halls
The parapets that stand ready
For a heart that lay an inch away from beating
For a soul that is almost awaking
For the living

A body is a castle
Built for you to inhabit
Take hold of that fortress
Let it be your rock

Build yourself
