I don’t know the why
But I know the One who does
He sits upon high
I don’t know the when
But I know the One who does
And He knows the time to begin
I don’t know the how
But I know the One who does
And I’ll trust Him in the now
I don’t know the where
But I know the One who does
And He’s already there
I don’t know the end
But I know the One who does
And I’m glad He’s my friend
Rhyme
Sunsets like life,
End suddenly, shocking us
With bursts of color,
Or subtlely fade away
With faint hues of calm repose.
Tanka
He’s the beginning
Also the end
Alpha and Omega
Syllable Lune
Trying to go back to the beginning
Have to find away to erase
Need to change what happened
While in my genesis place
Looking for a way
First errs to chase
But its gone
Without trace
Can’t.
Nonet
Never taking time.
Too busy to smell the roses.
Ignoring the clock,
We leaf thru our life’s book,
Reaching the end too soon. We weep
Tanka
What is
The meaning of
The “End of the Beginning”?
Is it really the “Beginning
Of the End” ?
Cinquain
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
–Sir Winston Churchill in 1942 after the 2nd battle of El Alamein:
Gone are the days
Of mud pies
That childhood imaginations
Turned into clay ashtrays
Carefully painted
In gaudy colors
By my neighborhood friend
And I
We were entrepreneurs
Out to make our fortunes
At age six
Elegy
