Last year, we launched El Nura, a magazine for Christian women. We would love to create and publish El Nura again in 2022, but we have faced some challenges. We had plans for an Easter edition, unfortunately, that was not possible.
Colleen R. Janzen sent in this poem for El Nura, we have decided to publish Anew here with Colleen’s consent as we start Easter week.
Anew
Every breath
Your breath in me
A chance to begin
Anew
Every breath
Your breath in me
A rebirth
A resurrection
Let these dry bones live again I pray
Poppa I breathe You in Shape my days my ways Fill my hopes my dreams with
Your
Breath
Your
New life
Your
Salvation
Working itself out
In
Me
Every breath
Your breath in me
A chance to begin
Anew
