The body a mere dish of fragile
Thou is of sterner stuff
The spirit commanding and proud
Do not confuse one with the other
Do not be lured into flesh
When thou is of soul
Thou are not made of anything
Or by anyone
Thou creates
And are not created
Death begets life
A new form divined by thee
A new beginning to thrust life
With beauty and accord
Do not get caught up in death
Instead get caught up in life
Thou art spirit
Thou art soul
Thou art you
