my life.
bend in the road.
I'm taking it.
need to.
where? don't know.
anxiety.
what's ahead?
I love to look back.
beatiful.
friends. success.
security.
ahead?
who knows?
looks dar.
but a glimmer of light
like a firefly
darts here and there.
calling to me.
encouraging my heart.
beckoning
saying: it's time,
it's time.
are you my firefly, God?
the flickering light
in the darkness?
are you on the road
around the bend?
do you nudge and urge me
to move on, to not rest
to risk, to let go?
O God, loving God,
to whom I most belong,
be that firefly
on the road
catch my attention.
fix my heart's gaze
on you again
and on the wonder of life.
