NEW BEGINNINGS

By Mark Heckey

Where to begin,

To start at the start, or start at the end?

We begin in the Middle:

a story evolving,

an action in progress,

an eternal riddle.

We cannot be created,

Or destroyed,

Only transformed.

We breathe, we strive, we clash, sometimes reborn.

There must be a reset,

A time not worn,

A pause for reflection,

An opportunity for new connections.

Thankful for the rest that allows re-calibration,

Thankful for the moment that opens to new sensation,

For the chance of re-creation.

Thankful for the ache that removes the pain,

Thankful for the courage to begin again.

Now through the Winter and the Dark,

Now to the Spring, and the song of a lark.

Here’s to the white page awaiting the stroke.

Here’s to refresh a heart mended, not broke.

To the new and the budding,

To a cycle of life and rebirth.
