‘Tis the Night (Tritina Style)

‘Tis the night before my new life begins.

What will happen as the new day emerges,

Fear, regret, or earnest expectations?

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained:” or just futile expectations,

While a scenario of possible failure begins.

Through the clutter of thoughts, hope emerges.

Confidence of a bright future emerges,

Making me a slave to raised expectations.

A smirk, a smile, a new expression on my face begins.

 My new life begins, emerges, with glorious expectations.

 

Inspiration: This poetic piece describes anticipation that we all feel when embarking on new endeavors; the Christian remains confident because of Christ’s presence. This poem can be found in the my poetry book, Sanctuary for the Soul: A Poetical Anthology for Life's Journey (Poetry Anthology Series). Based upon Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” ~TRP~
