Foreign lands and a brand new species.
Stress is gone, but the burden is increasing.
Days packed with talks of weeks to come.
Hearing stories of battles both lost and won.
History and culture permeating the air.
Generations full of life changing moments.
Like electric shocks streaking high above the oceans,
We are vast. Complexly created to be individually unique.
As if the well of inspiration it takes to create us is exponentially endless.
Ten to the square root of forever, we go on dreaming up our dreams.
So many times caught up with what it all even means.
No vacancy signs illuminated around claimed hearts,
Relationships seem to be mainstream.
Detached from a population of potential greatness.
Frat guys and housewives at home for the first time in nine months.
Excitement mixed in with exhaustion.
Comfort sparred for opportunity.
Ears ringing with the beating of souls.
More than work or ministry,
This is real and tangible life change.
Forever recorded in mere seconds.
Like spontaneous combustion, their hearts catch fire for the King.
Frozen social gatherings fill time.
A sense of obligation mixed with excitement help lubricate conversation.
Competition drives a group to new levels.
Draws them closer even.
With new blessings come new devils.
It’s all part of the changing seasons.
And so we fight.
We dig deep within and search our hearts to find what’s right.
Still, we lose sight and fall.
There’s an army rising up. An army answering the call.
We stand for our fallen.
Though the waters get rough, we know we can’t stay frozen.
For we have been chosen by Something higher than intellect.
Something that desires to use empty vessels.
Willing bodies ready to impact culture.
“Go therefore,” He said.
So I’ll scream from the mountain tops all these letters in red.
