spiritual warefare series: doubt the power

this is spiritual warefare.
dang it don’t seem like it,
but what it was designed to do
was make me doubt the power of words
my words
God’s words
His image
His image in me

leave me stranded in the wilderness
without the desire for food
and without water
the living water
that which sustains life
even in the absence of food
that which moves me not vertically
but horizontally
elevates my mind and soul

cause see….
this shell will remain here
but the essence,
nourished by the water, rises.
it basks in the stream of love and consciousness
…………floating…………
defying gravity and floating upward
until the master
plucks it from the stream
and places it within his bosom
where it was born
