Unfamiliar Faces


It's that time in life,
time to take a journey of faith
Hit the road and go
to a new unfamiliar place
Somewhere where nobody knows me,
but at the same time,
I'm going to the place I need to be
Was told I need to get out of my comfort zone
Being out on your own all alone
will make a person very uncomfortable
Everywhere you go,
you're meeting a new someone
you don't know
Unfamiliar faces ...
residue of the past still leave traces
Footprints of your soul,
being led by the Spirit
Going anywhere it tells you to go
Strange new places
filled with unfamiliar faces
They become more familiar each day,
the longer you stay
Old familiar faces fade
the longer you are away
Those unfamiliar faces now become like an old friend,
always welcoming ... never asking where have you been

This is very cool my friend. reminds me of my younger days, I traveled quite a bit, setting up roots and enjoying all of those unfamiliar faces that I found.
