New Beginnings

New beginnings;

never-ending.

Mind bending,

life-rending.

Where does it start?

Does it come from the heart?

Can we ever part

from the things we enact?

Does it take tact

to be able to retract

from a life that’s cracked?

Like a cataract you’re blinded,

never open-minded.

Needing to be reminded.

To live and be the greatest;

to die and be the best.

What truly separates us from the rest?

A flower opening to the sun

doesn’t stop once it’s begun.

To stop is to die;

to live is to grow.

To listen is to learn;

to understand is to know.
