The Phantom Limb
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
The mind is the phantom limb of the brain And emotions are the reflex hammer of the mind They are the mechanism for pleasure and pain Allowing our values and senses to be intertwined. Thought without feeling is a road without traction The strength of one’s grip comes from conviction. Emotions let us feel the weight of abstractions They prevent us from sliding without restriction. The mind is a vehicle driven by the will of man His heart the motor that travels across the land. He must refuel at the station whenever he can To regain his strength as his spirit rests its hands.
