I’m beginning again
Preparing to walk down a thousand new paths
So I pause
to look fondly on the old roads
I stoop down to see what flowers I should carry with me to my next destination
I don’t know where that will be
so I listen closely to the birds
their mocking tones repeat back to me the sounds of childhood bliss
I close my eyes and breathe in the scent of all my dreams
they envelope me like memories of fog
The excitement of early morning meets me
my journey pulls gently at the tips of hesitant boots
I slowly rise to greet it
A New Day
