But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

It is Time


I thought I had something to say. I thought it would be beautiful and bold. I thought the words would flow again as in the days of old.

I thought it was time.
I think too much.

I felt a burning in my lungs. I felt a burning deeper still. I felt it burning in my soul with every step upon that hill.

I felt it was time.
I feel it much, much more.

I saw the past before my eyes. I saw the future pass me by. I saw but didn't dare to dream something else was there.

I saw it was time.
I see clearly.

I think I want to share. I think that some might care. I think, but do I dare?

I think too much.
I thought it was time.

I feel my pain. I feel its drain. I feel intensely, acutely, miraculously sane.

I feel it much, much more.
I felt it was time.

I see my self. I see with eyes of stealth. I see what looks a lot like health.

I see clearly.
I saw it was time.

It is time.

  1. This makes me sad, but it's beautiful. I'm finding that beauty & sadness belong together sometimes. I learned that from a children's book. I love you, Aimee!

  2. Ah yes, sadness and beauty are often mingled but not without hope mixed in. Sometimes one must see clearly to look beyond to something new and freeing. I love you too, April. More than words can say!
