Clay Balloons – revised – v2

Talking of the Creator

God, in creating,

speaking light, life, or

active and hands on

touching us, our dirt,

within the Potter’s hands

adding living water

the clay of our forms

giving us life by His breath

able to fill even

clay balloons

able to fly by His breath

His Spirit, life, animating the clay

until we return to the dust

from which we came

Our spirits freed

to rise to God

once more
