Life, a Gentle Breeze

Life breathes life into its children
As gently as a breeze in its unending, unyielding journey
Comes forth from the hidden place.

The very breath of God fills each vessel
And then passes on to the boundless beyond 
From whence it came.

Our spirit, a fire fed by this invisible power
Ever seeks to yoke its strength and harness its potential
Like life, it slips through the fingers of a careless grip.

                                                   ~Christopher Thor Britt
