In the beginning

The start of something fresh usually makes us feel very excited

In the beginning, we come slowly,

In the silence of the night,

Or in the sparkling sunshine of day,

We come with cheeks soft and bright.

Looking into strange eyes,

As sunlight in the sky, searches for the morning,

And the glow can sparkle in paradise,

Beautiful dreams waiting.

In the beginning, we come slowly,

We come as a child, a servant of mankind,

In the service of love, hope and glory,

In the end, we will depart twice a child.

We came with nothing,

And gathered a brimful of earthly treasure,  

And still thirsty for everything,

Watch them pile high through the door.

Without having room enough to store,

We may live and die, and come back again,

To the beginning, looking for more,

Until we find the reason for living.

asking the eternal questions in this one - its a funny like
of transformation we go through isn't it? gathering things up just to learn how to let it all go ....

nice rhythm in your lovely words
