Truth In Spirit, Blood, And Water



The truth of all life resides in the embodiment of spirit
as spirit beings are the cause of all physical life
and will forever be the result of a wisdom and essence
far beyond the comprehension of any living human mind.

Any human must then deeply think of the how and why
of its existence, its consciousness of both spirit
and body, its awareness of blood, of thought and its
true nature as a kind held above all living beasts.

Deep within these thoughts must dwell the one true you
the one borne of love, trust, family, and friendship
each one of us is birthed into this world in the same way
we all are made of the same elements and the same blood!

Yet our existence is wholly dependent upon water, combine
our bodies holding our spirits with other material and
we cease to live an earthly life, thus all worldly life
depends on water which binds us together more than blood!
