Out of the Familiar

by
Michael Camarata


Out of the familiar,
The unfamiliar born
Only to become the familiar
From which new wonders grow.

In time
All things familiar,
All we think we know
And see
And hear
Is revised--
Made new again.

And in this glorious newness past,
We weep.
We stand exposed,
Before ourselves,
And bask in the familiarity of it all.
