A Moment in Time

A Moment in Time

It all felt brand new.

As if standing at a window

a spectator peering through.

Looking towards

a ceremony about to begin

A sharp ring of a bell

disturbed the quiet

that window opened wide

welcoming a procession into the church

that place of shelter, sanctuary, of worship,

a museum to family ties, a nod to departed kin.

I stepped forward

With slight trepidation.

To embrace ordination.

Wrapped in a brand new alb

adorned with a chasuble of gold.

“I am ready and willing”

head bowed, heart racing, I knelt

upon a floor polished, soberly cold.

Truly I believed fully

My faith not shaken.

In that moment of time

in that lifetime’s journey to be undertaken.

A wave of fragility

gently caressed my emotions.

A feeling of unworthiness covered me

as if I had been consumed by the whole world’s oceans

Later sunk in a chair exhausted by events

thoughts swirling yet feeling fine.

I cried tears of joy, of relief, mixed with a little grief

And due to that moment in time, my life was no longer mine.
