Purpose of Flesh

My muse whispered to me
Dale, what’s the purpose of flesh

I thought it a test of my faith

The purpose of flesh,
I replied is to reproduce
be fruitful and multiply
it’s consummation of flesh & spirit

I thought I suffered an emotional breakdown
the extension of spirit I supposed
The flesh is not emotional
Linear bodies don’t exist,
there in circular orbits
two bodies entwined

Minds as one,
emotional breakdown,
leaving out any desire,
lacking a spirit

I thought though,
It’s the lust of the flesh,
which needs another
to consummate the spirit

We seek orbit,
wrestling with the circles,
hence an emotional collision
Love is found

The purpose of flesh
is the consummation of spirit
