What does it mean to be in this place?
We journey through time
We occupy space
Temporal
How can we make a difference here?
So much to be done
So little to spare
Depleted
Who among us will offer to lead?
Many turns to take
Many signs to heed
Treacherous
Where will we stay in this foreign land?
No place to call home
No welcoming hand
Sojourners
Why do we wonder away our youth?
Unanswered questions
Unqualified truth
Mystery
He is the meaning found in this place
A moment in time
A look to His face
Belonging

so good to read a poem from you again, my friend.
:-)
Great poem.
You say "He is the meaning". Amen.
I love how this pulls me in. These are my favorite:
A moment in time
A look to His face
Belonging
Ahhhhhh, now that feels good. :)
I've missed you and your way with words. :-)
I just noticed this..very sharp Yvette. I do hope your doing great! All my blessings-
I really love this poem. It speaks volumes and I love the way it flows.
I just re-read this..and noticed I really hadn't said much in response..but this deserves it. It's like an aching..and you've echoed much of the way I feel too..Its hard to somehow capture, then condense these words and emotions. I find much of the stuff going on around me overwhelming- personally.. not to mention the changes happening within our own country or world! I can't imagine it being so different for believers in any other time though. Anyway, I really appreciate you and your visits. I know you'll always be by when you have a break- so thanks for stopping by and taking the time- My best, Regina-
I have been reading about st. Brendan and his voyage to the Promise land...your poem has similarities with His journey. Why do we wonder away our youth was thought I had yesterday. Thanks Yvette.
Love it! Your words have been such a strength for me for these years.
