Every time I say/
goodnight, I’m one step closer/
to saying hello.
You’re the dreams
I didn’t know I had.
Living out in the/
country, with seasons, you get/
antici … pation.
When your mortgage drops/
down to four digits, there’s great/
anticipation.
You know that moment
when you trip
and begin to fall
and know you’re going
to crash and burn,
but haven’t hit yet?
The moment between
“Oh, crap!”
and “OUCH!”?
Asking someone out
on a date
via email
or instant message
or text,
and then hearing
only silence
is like that:
The moment
just before
the face plant.
The course
has been set,
laid before us.
What preparations
need to be made
before partaking
in such a sumptuous spread?
Personal cleanliness is paramount.
Though we’ve been preparing
long before,
at last
a cold bath,
warm tub,
hot shower
is needed.
Each makes their choice,
as they also do
for their appropriate attire.
Then, as part of both anticipation
and preparation,
we would, together,
call upon Him
for the blessings of heaven,
each in our own way.
Lastly,
I would be pleased
to share
through the power which we share,
which Father has bestowed,
with hands on her gentle head,
words which are not mine,
but divine,
being with us
and in tune
and focused.
Thus, in all ways
right
and righteous
and tuned in,
we are then prepared
to participate
and partake
wholly
and completely
and righteously,
even if not
quietly.
Tonight, wrapped in your/
arms of love, with limbs tangled,/
I’ll not sleep alone.
Why do we often/
fear anticipation of/
potential brilliance?
When absolutes don’t /
occur, fear and dread replace/
anticipation.
Or
When promises aren’t /
fulfilled, fear and dread replace /
my hopeful waiting.
