Cindy Powell

Just sitting here 

In between 

The now and the not yet 

The promise and the process

The faith and fear that coexist

Here 

In between  

But even here

In between

There is beauty

Because He is here 

He is always here

He is always near 

Even in between

So while I sit here

In between 

I breathe

I smile

I laugh

I notice

The beauty all around me

Beauty that is unhurried

Unaware

And unaffected

By the tension in my soul 

Just sitting here

In between

With the Creator of all that is good

Choosing to see

Choosing to believe 

Choosing to embrace 

The beauty of now
