Beginning from the End

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
