Like whispers over rice paper

Like the Spirit moving
over the troubled waters
our lives, our journey
a breath, fleeting

Yet walking as on stepping stones
where some of them are hidden
under the sands of time
the swirling waters, chaos, the world

Our steps like whispers
puffs over rice paper
the breath of the living God
leaving faint images, mere impressions

Or perhaps more boldly, vivid
marks etched on the path
journeying forward together
when we are following our Lord
