Brevity.

If life is just a breath of air
And nothing can’t take us anywhere,
If we are but a speck in the sand
In the world which’s ensconced within his Hand,
If Solomon’s thoughts of meaninglessness are true,
What does this mean for me and for you?

It means make your one breath a breath of fire!
That ignites a torch so that all may see
We are not alone on this beach
There are thousands next to you and me.

So love that speck-with-one-breath you find
Yourself next to cause they’ll be gone
So very soon.
High tide is coming with the moon.

Love your fellow specks of sand
Made in the image of our rock and our salvation.
We, though very small, are all part of this scene
Our Rock choose to break himself for us 
So that all of us together could remain forever His queen.

So here we lie, surrounded by our fellow one breathed, tiny, Rocklike, specks of sand. All of us in our own unique way resembling the Rock, our Father. But we lie here afraid of the inevitable tides that sweep all away. We sit here among each other afraid to be lonely. We think that just because we’re slightly misshapen with a bulge here or a crack there, that we’re less. That our part does not matter.

How silly it all is in the big scheme,
The sunrise scene.
We are the sand that gives footing to the sea! We help reflect the Son.
He is beautiful. We are beautiful. And He rises to warm us! Everyone!

So I’m going to use my life, the brief breath of air that I am,

To realize I’m part of the plan and to say thank you! to the I AM.

  2. Reminds me of James 4:14- "You don't even know what tomorrow will bring--what your life will be! For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes." Thanks for sharing! Very poetic. I love reading what you and your sister have to say. Keep up the great work for God's kingdom! Your efforts are not going unnoticed!

  3. This is beautiful. Very well said, it paints a picture with a more powerful meaning than simple pretty poetry...it praises the King!
