Oh, Ye New Beginning
one day I stared life down
and life stared back at me
sometimes smiling warmly
sometimes sneering, as though jeering
of what I was trying to see

and they came against my plea
regrets, promises, memories
tears, laugher, pain
everything from which I had tried to flee

and they swarmed around me
like flies to the dead
and they mocked me,
and what I was trying to be

let me be free!
but I am slave to them
to the what if's, the maybe's
the sort of's, the hellos, the perhaps
the goodbyes
the wrong words, the right words
the words never said, the feelings smothered
with a sigh

then I understood
whatever I thought of life
life would be
and whatever I asked of life
that in life I would see
