life in transition




transitions

almost
imperceptible 
at times
a quiet whisper of change
  a slight shift of balance
a subtle transforming moment
when one thing nudges up against another
becoming new in the process
it can be a touch 
so gentle in passing 
that unless intentionally regarded
it slips away
unnoticed 



but sometimes 
like a growing, rushing wave
that meets the shore
with life altering force
transitions come
unexpected, untamed, unimagined
leaving us reshaped
unfamiliar
even to ourselves 

all that was buried
beneath layers of busyness
or soul distraction
or forward momentum
surfaces

everything is visible
uncontained
uncensored
just laying bare upon the surface 
of this life we've been building together.

It's a lovely sort of chaos
like modern art
hard to understand
but possibly beautiful.
