Have you ever wondered why you felt like you have been there and done that before?

THE SPIRIT SNATCHER

 

I know what I’ve been told.

Every Body has a Spiritual Soul.

The Soul makes me Me and You you.

A Spirit causes us to act the way we do.

Déjà-vu feels like this has happened before.

The Spirit precedes us everywhere we go.

Spiritual Encounters manipulate Meetings,

Coordinate and communicate Greetings.

The Flesh is weak, but the Spirit is willing.

Without a Spirit, Life’s not worth living.

 

When a person is said to be “too sick to die”,

Absence of the Spirit from the Body is why!

Spirit is the Summation of Body and Mind.

Out-of-body experiences occur from time to time.

When too troubled, the Spirit leaves Body behind.

Spiritual Warfare exists in Women and Men.*

The Aim of War is to “kill-the-will” to win.

When the Body dies, the Spirit will live ag’in.

The Flesh is weak, but the Spirit is willing.

Without a Spirit, Life’s not worth living.

 

Tempted and tormented by Delights of Sight,

The Spirit won’t “go gently into that good night!”

The Mind prohibits voluntary Separation

Of the Spirit from its carnal Incarceration.

This Cleavage must be done with Blood,

SNATCHED!

Like Survivors from the “hurry cane” Flood.**

The Flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing.

Without a Spirit, Life’s not worth living!

 

*Ephesians 6:12

**Reference is made to the stranded survivors of Hurricane Katrina on roof tops in New Orleans.

I feel that this is also a self experience of the mind poem, very touching and somewhat spiritual...I concur with the words as this kind of experience has happened to me.
Out of 10 = An 8 very good!

Why have you spelt Hurricane “Hurry Cane” under the title SNATCHED?
