Mind from Old English gemynd, memory,
intellect, intention, thinking and thought,
neither substantial, nor tangible, real,
definite, distinct, solid, sensory.
Body from Old English bodiġ, torso,
obsolete bodie, a Gordian knot,
decisively cut by a sword to deal
yet, another victory for logic.
Spirit from Latin, spiritus for breath,
pulmonary respiration, gases,
internal-external transport, passes
rationally without thought before death,
indifferent to the will, adagio
to presto is nothing short of magic.
