A poem celebrating the breath of God shared with his world in acts of creation, rescue, and renewal To begin, emptiness:deep dark waters swept byGod’s breath. Adam: God in his nostrils, chest rising.Breath given. God’s people flee to freedom:the wind blows.Waymaking breath Bethlehem:a baby starts to cry. Breath incarnate. Gasping for air:taking one finalcrucified breath. Returned from death:stepping into dawn’s light.Resurrected breath. Appearing to friends:bringing peace and a purpose.Breath of life. ComingShakingFillingSendingResourcing breath:Our breath.
