Poetry

---

The breath, the spirit of God
living within us,
while the clay, the earth, has life
Created by the hands of the potter
from the dust so shall we return
our bodies, merely the temple
the place within which the spirit lives
But it is that spirit that matters
that makes us more than the earth
the thing returning to heaven
when we have our spiritual,
our eternal birth
