Trapped in flesh encasing the soul
wrapped in cancerous crust
residue of empty fleeting oppressive
carnal thoughts and pleasures
Slowly bound as a fly in a web
Small grains of poison neverending droplets of rain
harmless attractions
Unseen the process
clearly seen the results
Many of these to be trapped in
many pleasures build houses
of pain many webs much poison and a lot of rain
Many days become many
years What is out of sight
still weakens spirit and mind
All experienced in the body
the flesh imprisoning the soul
Trapped in this flesh encasing the soul
a chrysalis in putrid
cancerous crust
SUDDENLY birthed as a New Creation of
spirit and mind made whole
Not perfect but whole
Escaping as a fly from the ensnaring web
one grain of sand small compared to mountain
Small steps of faith
unseen the process
clearly seen the results
Many cocoons to transform
in many steps of faith to
take many webs to avoid
many webs to escape
Much poison to grow
immune to much rain
many days
All experienced
in the body
the metamorphosis of
the soul.
