Notes About The Poem

Lightening

Lightening

Far in the distance, 
there is place, 
I long to go. 
A place I want to be. 
It is nothing like it is here, 
there. 

How is it different?
How can anything be…
more or less, 
except through expectation.

I gather up all that I love, 
to give all that I will ever be..
to you. 

I want to make sure you know…
that you understand, 
there has always been a reason, 
for every tomorrow, 
and I do not regret yesterday. 

Bear with me now, 
know that the time is close, 
and you will have to choose; 
to leap across the divide…
or even further.

The waters below, 
rocks and tides to carry you, me, we, us…
to places far from our homelands. 
Instead, fly…
give all that you have, 
more than you know…
and dreams will be
exactly what they are supposed to be, 
when written down 
and recorded…
in history. 


Prayers for you and your families in these hard times. 
In our Lord Jesus name... Amen.

I choose to take the giant leap, eliminating the divide. Made me smile and feel optimistic.
