“… A Fresh Breath…”

A Fresh Breath 

“Take a fresh breath “

Offer fresh words 

Gentle and patient,

Not one rotten,hurtful word- only helpful [good] 

Build up when they need it most


Stunned by a remarkable life

Forgiven, forgotten, putting on the new 

Shaking our heads to what God has done 


Some, walking casting seed in tears 

Long rows, treading long, long, rows

One day, amazed by what appeared 

Planting with sighs

Returning with joy and singing


A fresh breath, and breathing fresh words



A Fresh Breath, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta


About this poem: A Fresh Breath is a poem about times in life when you feel like you’ve taken a fresh breath when hearing fresh encouraging, kind words either in what you read or from someone that cares for you. Life can be hard at times and we continue to cast seed sowing in hopes of someday seeing results.

- Joe Holuta


*Inspired by Psalm 126 and Ephesians 4


 “Our mouths were filled with laughter;our tongues were spilling over into song.The word went out across the prairies and deserts,across the hills, over the oceans wide, from nation to nation:“The Eternal has done remarkable things for them.” We shook our heads. All of us were stunned—the Eternal has done remarkable things for us.We were beyond happy, beyond joyful.”


Psalm 126 excerpt


 “..to take a fresh breath and to let God renew your attitude and spirit.  Don’t let even one rotten word seep out of your mouths. Instead, offer only fresh words that build others up when they need it most. That way your good words will communicate grace to those who hear them.”


Ephesians 4
