He Has Only Just Begun

When might it have started? When did this whole thing start?
‘Beginning’ is too hard a concept, it is too natural a word, 
It is too common a daily lifestyle that too many cross over it like 
Butterflies in the midst of summer, like little waves in a pond of 
Lily leaves. 

Do you know how a leaf falls for Winter? Do you know something 
Just similar to abscission in plants? Do you know how the clouds
Say ‘Hi’ to their neighbours? 

Right now, the leaves are not fallen. The wind blows. And the leaf
Shakes. The leaf is tense. The leaf cannot see. It is a bit chilly.

So I would like to open what is a heart and what is an eye. Have 
A light radiate through a slit, and warm the room and chambers 
Inside.
