New Thing

God is constantly doing a new thing 

Are we recognizing the new?

As fresh?

Are we passing it by? 

With disdain?

Because it doesn’t match the pictures in our head?

Do we even perceive it? 

The glistening beckoning forth—

The arrow pointing a new way—

And so much happens to fulfill the new direction

But we miss it completely 

Not seeing the connection

Not accounting correctly 

Seeming so random

So old 

Minutiae

The anchor is up

We are going forth

Seeing the deep blue

New ocean 

But we think they’re the same

Waters  we’ve already traveled

Oh, God reveal to us the glistening 

Of the new dawn

Show us the shimmer 

Of the new

For this new water route, 

Although it looks the same,

Is taking us to a place 

We just haven’t yet perceived
