my soul

I still have times when sadness compounds. 
I still think “Why must I live like this?”
And, “Where do I find joy?” 
However, I am generally happy. 
My happiness does not come from
making an excellent physical recovery. 
I do not look to running to find joy. 
Running is years,
if not lifetimes, away. 
Rather, happiness comes
from a positive mindset. 
Gone are the days when
I desperately chase a dream
dependent on my brain’s tenuous
connection to my body. 
I now depend on my
brain’s available connection to my soul. 
Where my brain-body
connection finds little joy,
an accessible brain-soul
connection compensates. 
My body lives in
a world limited by disability. 
However, my soul lives in
a world without limits.
