Beginnings
Virginia Salter

Such a lovely day for beginnings;
why does it feel like the end?
Sun is rising into sea of blue
as pink and azure blend.

My hopes should be encouraged
by the glorious view about.
Why do I feel at a loss for action;
why do I sense I’m out.

These feelings of wavering and trembling,
this weakness I feel in my knees
To go ahead into daylight hours
seem more like flailing seas.

Why should one feel so unsettled
when there’s really nothing amiss
As far as I can tell from looking
so why do I feel like this?

Do I think it’s the calm
before the storm might hit?
Do I wonder if there’s trouble brewing
and what I’ll make of it?

If only I could drink right in
the lovely glow of morn
And thank the Great Creator
for the day that I was born.

Pink and blue in amber glow
lights up the dawning world
Across the land the flags on high
will gaily be unfurled.

Oh help me, Friend, join with me sir
and madam greet the day
Let’s kick up our heels in frolics squeals
and march this day away!
