Writer & Poet: Addie Pottz

As You Breathe Life

As I look out from the shoreline
I find Him there
Waiting patiently

Calling my heart
Which He loves
Boundless
Ceaseless

My soul hears
Before this
His creation

I am always
Wherever I be
Waking anew

Taking in
A breaking blue
Water

Here now
My bare face
My naked feet
Are washed over

Father
How welcome am I
By the tide’s ripples

Beloved am I
Beloved are You
Faithful steady greater
Lord this be true

Walk closely
Spirit within me
I’ll stay forever near

Trusting
Your lead

I inhale
As You
Breathe
Life
