Jenna Logan Poet Acrostic

New Beginnings

Nature is an Autumnal thief; pilferer of clinging leaves 
Each one rudely swept away, but a tree never grieves
Well knowing in Spring, buds will reappear as sheaves

Behold the dawn of sunrise as we begin another day
Enfolding us in the sun's warmth with every golden ray
Gray skies will often darken the horizons in our lives
Intrusive, yes, but with positive thoughts, one survives
Never give up, just start over, despite improbable odds
Nascence and a willing desire is the impetus that plods
Inside our hearts, leading us to pursue another direction
New pathways to follow, after soul-searching reflection
Garnering wisdom to regard the past as a mere bygone
Spurring us to a better life when it's time to move on

Tom Cunningham January 23, 2021 at 7:33 AM I dont like endings especially if the story is a happy one like when you set off on holiday and you are having such a good time you dread it coming to an end. Well written acrostic Jenna, hope you're having a great weekend. Tom Jenna Logan January 23, 2021 at 3:21 PM Thanks for the comments, Tom. Being retired...just elongate your vacation!
