Heart, Mind and Soul

12:29 AM at 12:29 AM

Heart, Mind and Soul took a bus to the cemetary.
Many thought the three were getting along quite well
but truth spoke words quite contrary.
They gathered around a mound with something hidden six feet underground
and Mind bent down to read each etched word in the stone, but was quickly interrupted by the heavy sobs of Heart.
Mind's eyes rolled back as he stood, frustration smeared across his movements. His sharp tongue longing to pierce Heart's weakness.
"You can't be dead!" moaned Heart with each tear shed.
"It could never have worked!" bleeted Mind with a smirk.
Soul, desiring nothing but unity between the two, spoke up, "Come, let us find peace in the work that we do."
Heart's last tear dropped as the three slowly walked to the bus stop.
The bus doors closed and it drove away while the sun set on another day.
The shadows of the tombstone's lettering elongated as the mountains swallowed the sun, declaring
"HERE LIES THE MEMORY OF YOU"
