These Are My JOTtings...

Just a Breath

Just a breath of softest air
can touch the depths of heart.
The lungs take life of air in there
as moments newly start.

But when the breath becomes a gale,
it takes your breath away!
Will hope remain as some things fail?
We'll live another day!

The storm will come with forceful breath,
then pass and become naught,
As many live beyond this death
with lessons that we're taught.

In just a breath of "still small voice,"
the question will remain,
"Will you choose life? You have a choice!"
The consequence is plain.
