Tom Mcmurray Poet Lyric

Each New Beginning

Each new beginning forewarns of each new end
And I in frozen slumber am a passenger
On this eternal journey.
Buildings built on living earth,
Shuttered houses rise and fall,
Wood and plaster crumble
In a heap upon the soil.
Fire consumes the fallen waste to ashes,
To start anew, to start anew.

In the warm haze of sultry light
Gray clouds obliterate the sun.
The earthworm turns beneath
The fallen, brittle leaves.
Summer yields to fall
And fall to spring.
And spring ignites the buds
Which soon become the bloom
Of soft perfume.

My present is my past;
My future wrapped beneath cold stars
And blue-moon comfort
As time moves and rolls
Like a wave caressing the glittering sand.
Perception is a curved ray of burning sun
With falsity abundant in its majesty;
I am the empty vessel 
Awaiting to be filled
With the clear, cool water 
Of knowledge.
