Tonight was a beginning.
I didn't plan it or design it as such.
I didn't circle it on my calendar,
with the lush vibrancy of a red ink pen.
I only told myself that it was.

What is it about beginnings anyway?
Everything, no matter how trivial, has one.
Personally, I much prefer endings;
like a marathon runner, dashing
confidently across the finish line.

He looks up and smiles at the crowd.
His sweat and tears are forgotten,
drowned by the joy and splendor
of a fleeting instant; He takes it in.
Moments like this are scarce.

As I reflect, my own beginning fades,
even farther gone than it was moments before.
For the first time, I don't anguish over it.
Instead, I smile as the future beckons;
there will always be time for beginnings.
