"EVERY MOMENT, A COMMENCEMENT" Nothing actually ever ends
Every moment is a commencement
Of renewed hopes and fresher dreams
Prelude to all the world's incessant games
Life's roulette won't stop with a loss or win.

A cry is heard when a soul departs
Same sound breaks as a new one arrives
Flowers wilting after blooming
Freeing seeds, soil will be nurturing
Or give way to a new fruit budding.

Birds flying high, flitting butterflies
Fish in the sea swimming wild and free
Golden morning, gentle breeze blowing
White clouds gliding as sun keeps smiling
It's a new day, I'll create a better me!

Sun in the western horizon
Day is winding up in a swan song
We'll soon hear the choir of eventide
Not a dirge, never a sad goodbye
A herald for the daw, can't be denied.

Any season coming to a close
For loneliness cannot be a cause
For as a lady needing to change clothes
Comes out brighter, in a lovelier pose
And a livelier essence of purpose. © MYR REYES E. TEJADA
