There are very few true beginnings
Maybe only one.
Changes masquarade as beginnings
With or without ends.
But they feel important, beginnings,
And we mark them well.
Wait, countdown, prepare for beginnings
Celebrate the start.
May the impulse of this beginning
Last until the next.
That opening really hooked me, and the second stanza was so well handled. I love how this builds towards the end.
