Transitions

Transitions

by Joel Howard

A poem about good-byes and learning to let go

This is it

I've pin-pointed my pain

Down to this

This is it: Transitions

From moving

To moving

To moving again

It explains 

The state I'm in

From turning from you

To turning to sin

Safety in transitions

This is it: Transitions, God

Our country, alike 

Is in this same fight

A conundrum of heights

Stemming back to good-byes

Transitioning

Letting go

Letting new leaders 

Take hold

It grates at our minds

It eats up our souls

But transitions, friends

Are the beginning, not only the end

Opening up doors wide

Up, out and inside

Will we accept our loss?

Will we receive a new boss?

I for one say amen!

I for one say again

Transition is the state we are in

Let's do this well

Let's humble now, friends
