blood is thicker .. .

an old saying ...
blood is thicker than water

something inside us
says this is so
even with those of our kin
we're not akin to
even with those in the blood-stream
who dislike us
or we dislike

something about blood ...

it is the life of the flesh

but more

in it
we share
life
at it's most basic level
and it is in us
part of us
part of who i am
humanly

my dad
mum
brother
sister
son
daughter
are closer to me
bloodwise
and there's something there
down deep
indescribable somehow

but there's
another
blood
a spiritblood
that runs in my spirit

it's the blood
that makes me kin
to
God himself
for he is my father
my heaven dad
Abba

and the blood runs thick as Jesus'
thick thick
it runs through my heart
into every artery vein vessel
and
the very heart
of Jesus
runs
in
it
...
in
me

i am
astounded

i am
overwhelmed

i am
humbled

i am
struck blind
by this
love
that runs thicker

response ...

what indeed
is
my
response
to such
unfathomable
indescribable
love
