Begin Again

In the presence of grace and grief
The sun rose again - we faced the east
Take a breath, hold it in
Release
You are precisely where you are meant to be

The theater's amiss with exhibitionists
Please do not conflate what your reality is with this
Instead suppose you belong to the continuous stream
juxtaposed with the fleeting you are infinite

You are infinite
Begin again and remember this
Energy is transformed without benefit
May those who feel feel tenderness

Hug the ones you love just because
Yeah, that's the precisely the sentiment
Still slinging that food for the soul
And the bells keep jingling

As we attend to these memories
Trying to suspend disbelief
We know everything that you could have been you are
The sun, the moon, the stars and all
Winter, spring, summer and fall
Remembering, listening, breathe deep, hold it in
For we know at the end there’s a beginning again
