This feels like a new beginning
A new start
I'm opening up like forsythia blooms
And stepping out
Onto newly green grass
Water flies by in the stream
Each drop different and fresh
And it's a beautiful sadness
This change in my posture
And spring in my step
I walk for awhile
Then I run
Then I skip
I somersault
And cartwheel
And let myself trip
Over flower blooms
And bursting blossoms
But I know in my heart this will change
I know in my heart night will come
And change all these flowers to fossils
