Newness (A Poem)

 I've been avoiding you

Pen

Paper

My thoughts

God

Sometimes these all mesh together in reflection

I feel the newness about to crash in

A looming, like a storm rumbling

I've expected it and so I welcome it

Come and bring the winds of change 

Blow through what I know to be comfortable and right

Fit around me like a new garment almost too modern to call mine

Two years seems about the right amount of passed time

Two years of so much humility and so much growth

We are here again

Taking a step out this time on our own volition

For years we step in because doors open

This time I have the freedom to choose

I am stepping out into uncertainty but this time free of worry

I welcome it. I invite it. 

Blow through what I know to be comfortable and right.

Fit around me like a new garment almost too modern to call mine

Certainty for the unknowns yet to encounter. 

Come.
