He knelt down, leaned in close, and
breathed into the dust.
Dust became man and man
breathed in His image and life.
He breathed His Word and
Word gained skin and
breathed life into twelve who then
breathed that life into more.
Spirit became fire and
breathed mighty wind into
hearts and minds which then
breathed change into the world.
We breathe a human breath then
slip under the waters where
all breath stops and when
we come up we now have His
breath in our souls.
One day our lungs will
breathe one last breath and we fall
asleep but when we wake we
find Him leaning close and He
breathes into us perfect life everlasting.
