Image: ChatGPT but with a little human intervention
below renew weaves through cloaks holy untethered tendrils gods spark ash wonder
Poets and Storytellers had the prompt words "flesh" and "spirit" - I merged the two prompts.
The Renewal
Whether you believe
In the gods above
(And in worse below),
Or in the spark of fate
Or in holy interventions,
The tendrils of life
Are largely untethered
And extremely tenacious—
Nothing can cloak or diminish
The wonder of it.
◊
And, without doubt,
There is wonder—
Wonder at how
Life weaves its cloth;
How flesh becomes spirit,
Passes through ash
Returning once more as flesh.
Continuum.

Good use of the words and an excellent prompt combination. Descartes said doubt is the origin of wisdom and fuels growth towards the truth (painful as that might be ) I agree with him.
