Begins
When the lost opens your eyes
When surrender wipes out lies
When you accept the dark skies
Life begins
When dreams fail to wake
When life feels too fake
When all is at stake
Life begins
When the road is a fog
When your thoughts are a bog
When a fight is a slog
Life begins
When pain breaks your heart
When friendships depart
When you wake with a start
Life begins
Like shadows in a cave
With howls and rave
With nothing to save
Life begins
When nightmares are done
When the end has begun
With nowhere to run
Life begins
When hopes are all dead
When nothing is said
When your grave is a bed
Life begins
When clouds block the sky
When joy makes you cry
When nothing says why
Life begins
When hope brings you fear
When all is too dear
When the grave is too near
Life begins
When nightmares are true
When the end has found you
When nothing is new
Life begins

Again I thank you for your kind visits and humbling and encouraging words, dear friends. In my mind I answer you, but the words don't leave my head. I am reminded of when I was age 18 through 20 when I wanted to escape my prison of shyness and forced myself to visit dark punk nightclubs, and for most of two years I sat against the wall watching people dance, sometimes stepping on the floor myself and shutting my eyes and dancing alone. Gradually I learned to talk to people, but that prison never really left me. Again, thank you so much for your kindness.
