A new beginning
begins the end
A different octave
whose voice portends

The circle squares
as angles form
escape your memory
salvation born

A new beginning
first and last
Once you enter
the past is past

All colors exit
as black meets white
gray indifference
to lace the night

A new beginning
storms on fire
ice is raging
polar spires

Eight directions
up is down
Buried mantra
—transcendence found
