Waiting to bloom

There are words
we grow tired
of speaking
hearing, thinking about
"transition"
life on the cusp
to become
whatever comes
next
"transformation"
from seed
to bud
to flower




screaming inside
to reach
extend
expand
but still trapped
not content
with green
or the waiting
for colour
to come forth

    I definitely get tired of hearing those words and feeling them, but at the heart, I know that transition is still moving forward and I have to give thanks. Thank you, Karin.

    Transition is always hard, even when it's good transition, but all of life is about change. You have beautifully portrayed this through this piece of prose.

    I love how you gave color to the waiting process. I am in transition also so I've been telling myself to "be still" for a while. Enjoyed the last line of "Waiting for colour to come forth".

    Transitions are both sad and exhilarating. Great expression...

    Perfect in its description of how transitions feel...even the word itself we are tired of!

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
