Waiting- The Blossoming Dogwood
Waiting
Today the blossoms may appear
reaching toward light
morning sunrise, early light
All of life really, waiting
Fleeting days
Today I hurry to see the sunrise
And to see if the flowering dogwood blossoms
Expectant and Thankful for another day
Another sunrise
Another blossom
Another chance to wait
Waiting,
new sunrise, new Blossoms, new Hope
No more voices of condemnation today
No more pointing the finger or reminded of not meeting the mark
“ God at this very moment sticking up for us” 1
New hope written in the dirt today 2
God's mercy is brand new morning after morning after morning.
Mountains high and valleys low
Sojourners together
Blossoming together
Stories and bright futures and reaching toward the light together
“You will thrive in the nourishing light that gives life and will not know darkness.” 3
Waiting- The Dogwood Blossoming, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
About this Poem: Waiting- The Dogwood Blossoming, is a poem about the anticipation of seeing the blossoms and also how we need to wait for the good things to happen although waiting can be difficult. Waiting has always been hard for me. The poem is also about new mercies, hope, and new sunrises that give new perspective. Forgiveness is what we can extend daily to others since God forgave us. He is for us through the ups and downs and strengthens us, being the light that overcomes darkness. - Joe Holuta
