A NEW BEGINNING
Opening the book
To pastures green
Green and lush
With so much to write
And so much to see
And hear
Maybe
The beginning
The place
The time
The here and now
I feel like dancing
Pirouetting, twisting and turning
Like a ballerina
With wings to fly
Just like
The butterfly
Floating so high
In the sky
Then rest by the brook
That is
Weaving
Winding
Meandering
Through the pages
Of the new book
Refreshing
Regenerating
The old
Into new life
Springtime
New lifetime
The time
For new growth
And energy
Turning the bare
Branches into lush
New green leaves
Reaching high
Up to the sky
Now is the time
To write the new book
Whilst sitting here
By the brook
