Atheist Love Song

Murray Hill · Post by **Murray Hill** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:03 am

According to Rene Descartes
where our bodies end our minds start
But he knew best as a man of the chart
that lines both connect and set apart

Like lovers linked at hand and heart
mind and body must never part
Like the artist and the art
body and mind must never part

As a massage therapist and Buddhist I think this is poetry in motion.

As a non-massage therapist and a non-Buddhist, I also think this is poetry in motion. I love the conceptual visuals and the truth. I also feel it need not necessarily be Atheist. Beautiful.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Tri-Me and Lizzy. I agree that it need not necessarily be Atheist, and in fact, I do not consider myself Atheist (which after all, is another kind of religion, is it not?) I suspect the poem may have given that away, despite itself.

Hi Murray ~

I presumed that the atheism was attributed to Descartes but not necessarily you. However, just in case.......offered my sentiments on the poem itself.
