Beginnings.
In this most enlightened age
where hours flash by
the nearer I come to my final
breath the brighter sun
seems when it rises each day
and the fiercer tumble
beached waves of neap-tides
bleached more silver
than my sight recalls seeing.
Waking to view glory- fresh
morning in full spate,
purged and dripping allure
makes my innards ache
to join joy breath expresses.
I note then a bluer
sky, feel deeper air's healing
and smile wider as face
is embraced by first breezes.
Being alive is enough if trust
guides aging, for while
closer draws endings greater
the need to perceive
nature in changing its music
accepts given time,
earth's worn song-sheets await
other beginnings
with excitingly different tunes.

- Comment from author about the poem: I post this piece in tribute to Kevin Browne our familiar poet-friend who recently passed away and who will be sorely missed here on MPS. Hoping this piece on ends and beginnings will say in poetry what Kevin's talent for words meant to his readers.

A fine tribute Fay.
You've so well encompassed the joy of life in advancing years here. I felt you were writing my own feelings.
Sadness though in us all today with the news of Kevin. A unique and exceptional poet. Artistically painting mood with his words. A true romantic who shared with us his lust for life as well as his fragility.
I wish you well as you move to the great beyond poet friend.
This is so fitting for such a very, very sad occasion..
I had such a lot of time and respect for Kevin may he now RIP
Great words & a fine tribute Fay

Fay, you wrote a very fine tribute to Kevin. I am going to miss his writing too. But that is life. We come and we go. Hopefully we can do something worthwhile during our short time on this earth.
Wonderful tribute Fay, as we get older we enjoy life more and more, I certainly am.
RIP Kevin - you will be missed.

exultation.. Was a new one for me 😉 thank you so much for bringing me her, I glad not to miss it!
I still need to absorb it all better but it felt Regenerating for me, guess it is the willingness to understand something new.
Thank you for sharing
Much peace and respect
