Blood

A part of you disappears
A part of you reappears
You are constantly changing
Constantly living and dying


Your blood is a part of your soul
Each drop an entity on its own
A single dot of sand upon the beach
Unimportant alone yet still part of a whole


Live began its journey small
You began no bigger than a doll
Your life began in a body not
It all started in a single clot


Every drop of red viscousness
A single sign of life minute
Flowing through tunnels of flesh
Pumping with life never to rest


Work on till you die
Keep on working till the end is nigh
Blood, Oh essense of life
From that alone could existence derive


Buried with the harrowings of life
Stirring in bouts of burning anger
Flushing red in joyous passion
Every flowing moment is redly coloured


And then a day will come
In your lifeblood you will drown
With it will time stop for you
And start again it will never do


The fuel of man's immortality
Will one day run dry
When all blood has run from his face
He'll know that all need to change is done
