Beginnings and Endings

I have woken up and
I am still alive
The sun is here
The birds are flitting about
from branch to branch
chirping all the while
How many mornings
remain in my life
How many mornings
remain in your life
How will we feel
what will we see
on the last one
Will we even know
The sun won't know
The birds won't mind
The world will be
caught in the mire
of the ordinary
when we move
from the known
into the unseen
I can't find the words
so this is where
these words end

I See

What does a beginning look like?
Does it look similar to an ending or
is it closer to what the middle looks like?
Is it distinguishable at all?
It's hard to say.
What brings on a beginning?
Does a beginning inevitably hasten
an ending?
What is it we're looking for?
What are we looking at?
My guesses are barely educated
they never made it past junior high.
I see, I see, I see...
there is sky and ocean waiting for me.

Of Transitions

Beginnings and Ends

are indistinguishable

from one another.
