The beginning is
Always difficult it’s
The end that’s
Easiest however you
Can’t have one
Without the other
So we naturally
Confuse the two
Isn’t it easier
For the sun
To set than
To rise each
Day therefore I
Ask for sweet
Goodbyes and ever
So cautious hello’s
I shall not
Write you again
You asked of
Me my wisdom
Of which I
Shared and now
And for ever
I give you
A greater gift
And harder still
My silence here
On these pages
Listen to its
Roar in darkness
And remember me
Thunder heralded change
Clouds knew before
Me that today
Would mark newness
To my knees
But once again
Bleeding and weary
Up I stand
One more time
Or as many
Times it takes
Strength does not
Stand with those
Swinging the whip
It stands instead
With those capable
Of withstanding it
Bring about anger
Despair and pain
For my heart
Feels not that
Instead it beats
Hope and change
For better things
When I give
You my heart
I will also
Give you a
Hammer if you
Cannot break it
Have it you
Simply will not
Let’s see now
I’ve got keys
Wallet sunglasses watch
Sandals sunscreen shorts
Shirts underwear socks
Pants cigars lighter
Cutter one red
One white corkscrew
Jacket and hat
The only thing
Missing you Bean
