Breath

The stone. 
Plain, Dusty, Worn. Full of holes and shortcomings. 
Like me. 

A droplet of water. 
	Changing, transforming. 
		Washing away the dirt, grime, muck.
	Leaving behind a metamorphosized canvas of color.

The stone. 
	Altered forever. Carved and painted by the presence of water. 

The water, falling, flowing, changing, forming. 
	A drip. Droplet.
		Rain, Pouring down on me. On the stone. 
Amending. Smoothing away the flaws. 

The water of life, cleansing. 

The stone.
	Mended. 
		Turned from a pebble - like any other - to a unique fragment.
		Smoothed over. 
			Remade.

The droplet, driplet. 
	Changing, moving me, like Him. 
		Wearing away my imperfections and sins. 
		Smooth, like the rock. Beautiful. 
			His.
