Calm has come
Stopped the siege
No one knows
Nor cares why.
Bow my head
Hear it now
Blending
Softness into song.
To the world
Nothing’s changed
Yet I know nothing
Will be the same.

Good beginnings
Caress the past
Moving forward
Beyond the last
Making new ones
As they come to be.
No one knows
Just what’s in store
Only that the way
Is open and
Pulls us through
Here to this day.
Showing
Another time
Beginning now today
But always, always
Starting yesterday.
