Evening Begins

The evening begins the sky has darkened
A full moon is shining bright
With the bright stars glitters

The flooding begins

you'll cry me an onion
i didn't mean to upset you so ~
multiple layers shed endless tears

The Whispering Begins

Boitumelo knelt where no one stood, His hands soaked deep in healing wood. He was not king, nor sought the seat, Just guardian to the village beat.
He'd lived in stillness, left the blade, His spear long buried, peace now made. But winds had shifted, drums were tight, The air grew thick with unseen fight.
A child he saved spoke in a tongue That hadn't lived since time was young. She cried, "They’re watching in the trees— The ones who twist the prophecy."
And that night, dreams began to burn: A cave with flames that dared return. Three old women, veiled in flame, Each whispering his stolen name.

Spirit 1:
“Boitumelo, peace is a fragile thread.”

Spirit 2:
“The soil remembers what kings forget.”

Spirit 3:
“Come find the throne. It waits in dread.”

He woke with ash upon his chest, The smell of blood, the ache of rest. He wept beneath the rising moon, Not for the crown — but for it soon.

Consciousness Begins In The Womb

Before the breath, before the cry,
Where silent stars in stillness lie,
A pulse begins, a spark, a thread,
In quiet dark where dreams are fed.

The sea within, both warm and deep,
A drifting soul begins to sleep—
Yet stirs with whispers soft and round,
Of mother's voice and beating sound.

A bud unopened feels the rain,
The hush of joy, the ghost of pain,
And though no word has yet been named,
The heart is lit, the soul is claimed.

Each ripple felt, each breathless turn,
The mind unknown begins to learn,
Of light it cannot see or prove—
And love, the first it’s conscious of.

An End Begins

Never saw it coming
the tight bend on a mountain road.
Dead ended himself.
Flew up, up and up,
fell down,
went nowhere.
A body count of one.
No one noticed
but he was gone, gone, gone.

Hope Begins In The Dark

Hope begins at night 
When the lights are out
While you lay in bed 
In the dark 
And try to fall asleep. 
It’s when all the thoughts 
Start to creep in to your head 
And you want to grab a notebook 
And a pen 
And starting writing things down 
Like a maniac. 

So,
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 


Hope begins
Outside under the stars 
That shine so brightly 
In the sky 
As you realize 
You need to shine 
Your light daily 
As much as you can 

So,
Hold on to that hope 
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins
In the forest 
Hiking up a mountain 
To a gorgeous view 
That will take your breath away 
And leave you feeling powerful and inspired 

So, 
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins 
At the gym
When you throw on the boxing gloves 
And start throwing punches 
As hard as you can 

So,
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins 
With a spark 
Inside of you 
So,
hold on to that hope 
And start unleashing it 
Into everything you do 
In your life.

It All Begins with a Song

Going through and looking at
Old videos for fun 
Sakes alive, wow, can you sing!
You sure know how it's done 
I've never heard another voice
Quite like the one you own 
It even sounds incredible 
When heard over the phone

springs arrival work begins

dawn chorus chirps up
heralding the start of spring ~
nest building begins

If It Never Begins, It’s Poetry

I tried to unlove you, I swear I tried,
But your eyes pull me, like waves to the shore,
How can I forget what never died?

I search for you where the lost hopes hide,
A glance from you—my heart beats once more,
I tried to unlove you, I swear I tried.

Among the crowd, where echoes collide,
Yet only your silence cuts to the core,
How can I forget what never died?

My heart still follows, though fate has denied,
Like a story unwritten, an unopened door,
I tried to unlove you, I swear I tried.

If love was a fire, it would have subsided,
Yet here I stand, still longing for more,
How can I forget what never died?

"If it stays, it’s love,"—I whisper, teary-eyed,
"If it ends, it’s a tale... if it never begins, folklore."
I tried to unlove you, I swear I tried,
How can I forget what never died?

Spring Soon Begins

"Spring, a time to renew, refresh and let go of Winter's bitterness." - Quote by poet.

Purple crocus peak through snow melted ground.
Songbirds rejoicing Spring will soon be bound.

The Day Begins

As the dusk journeys to the dawn
a crisp breeze awakens the senses
light fingers through the heavens
and shadows slither away.

The day begins as if promised
to break night and interrupt dreams
time to awake and accomplish
routines and task of living

Up with a yawn and stretch
and you look upon the one sleeping
beside you. At peace with a face
of an angel. Only if it appear when awaken.

Walk barefoot into the kitchen
brew coffee and fry bacon
if that doesn't wake the dead
throw dirt on them, smells of first morning.

You look back into the bedroom
and see the sleepy head turn
thinking how can I pick em
out on the porch sipping coffee

Watching the sun rise in full brilliance
who appears at the doorway
can I have a sip?
Sitting beside you feeling happiness

The day begins as the world turns
and your life with love
forget worries, forget problems
it feels right, another good day.

it begins with

 
one white flake ~
thousands
swirl

how it begins

flirtatious wink
found souls linking
love inking hearts

fall begins

first weekend of fall 
leaves exploding off trees 
bursting with color
