A Poem


"The Way to a New Beginning"


In the start of every beginning
There is a decision—
How to approach the beginning;
In the start of the beginning
There was no indecision
Just thoughtfulness and deliberation.
This is how time always begins
From the earliest days of man
To the life of the astronaut
Fixed in weightless motion.
This is the way it always goes
From Kansas down to Colorado.
How to meet the girl.
How to say hello.
How to take a nap.
How to take a dip in the pool.
How to say you know.
How to stand upside-down
While twirling around.
These are the people
Who are in the know.
They are the extraordinary bunch
Who are on the path of a life sequestered
From the hustle bustle.
Who make their dollars
From the grit of their palms.
Who does the shuffle in the
Light of the palms.
Who does it all from the industrial revolution
To the new millennium.
Who knows the paws
Of every single kitten.
