Beginnings
Don’t be afraid of how it will end.
Don’t fear the darkness
Surrounding your heart,
Acting as a blanket
That cloaks your future
Into the past.
The past of your childhood,
The smell of the trees
And of summer memories.
Memories of love,
A soul’s passion and desire
To trust that falling
Is flying in disguise.
Disguises of beauty,
Of all gorgeous creations
The world has to offer
With a radiant smile.
Smiles of contagious laughter,
Laughter of finding love,
Loving all there is to life.
Life is of dark and light,
The light a bright future,
The dark a nostalgic past.
Embrace the darkness
Seeping in,
Greet it with arms wide open,
Revert to the life once loved and
Don’t be afraid of how it will end.
