Thanks for the invite to your post, I enjoyed it and can see the parallel to my poem. I have up voted and followed. There is also another translational aspect to this passage you left out regarding water, some believe you must be born of water refers to baptism, I don't agree but it is interpreted that way by some. for me being born of water is being born of woman, the water of the womb, of flesh.

Speaking of parallelism, I am in complete agreement with your observation about water. The parallelism in the passage strongly supports the view - "water" and "flesh" are definite parallels there. :)
Some postulate:
born of water = human birth, born of woman.
born of spirit = baptism, spiritual birth
So in essence both have to do with water.
