25 Elul 5773: Begin

Potential
and possibility
Blank pages
filled with untold stories
and unmade mistakes

Beginnings

They have that shiny
new car smell,
Even if just a
a journey
or a crossword puzzle--
all pristine clean
and unfilled squares.

They all smell like new
just off the line
All potential and
Possibility

They are nerves
and butterfly stomachs
Jittery
Jangly
Sharp-breathed
Sharp-edged and eager
Let's go, let's go
Come on

We start on the edge
Poised between
Potential
and possibility
A step
A breath
A, instant
Desire
twined with want
Want
wrapped in need
Need
healed by hope

An eternal now
Poised
to start
To go
To let go
To begin
Again
