In the Air

Written June 20, 2009


In the Air

Something is in the Air
I feel it

Dark clouds, but not foreboding
Gathering overhead
Freshness, newness, the calm before the storm

The wind stirs my heart and my imagination
God, you are moving
I can feel it in my veins
This energy
Every inch of me feels I will burst

I can’t see it yet, but I feel it in the air
On the wind
Content, a feeling of excitement rising
Anticipation
The unknown
I love that feeling

Bring the rain
Wash away the dust that has gathered
Collected in the crevices
For so many months

My favorite feeling, watching a storm gather
To stand in the open as the first drops fall

I love the smell
So many memories of that smell, that feeling
In the air
From other times when I felt you moving
I know this time will be no different
Something is happening
Renewed passion
What is on the horizon?

God, your ways reflected in the gathering of a storm
Building up until something has to give
And it all pours down, washing clean

A fresh start
New
I can feel it in the air
