Beginning from the End
By Julie Lacksonen

The beginning
Is the
Time
Where
Love -
Blossoms
And then… hope
Is gone
Fear
Abounds
Now
Wanting
I find myself...
Now
In sorrow
I spend too much time
Loathing -
To experience
A life without the ability
To imagine joy
I wonder
Is it so difficult
To comprehend ...
The end - ?
[This poem shows that sometimes opening yourself to love is all that's needed in life. Now, read it in mirror form to experience a different outcome - beginning from the end.]
The end
To comprehend
Is it so difficult
I wonder
To imagine joy
A life without the ability
To experience
Loathing -
I spend too much time
In sorrow
Now
I find myself...
Wanting
Now
Abounds
Fear
Is gone
And then...hope
Blossoms
Love-
Where
Time
Is the
Beginning
