So now we come to the end
My friend
Of the poetry I penned
This month was a great dividend
Of my poetic legend
(Or so I pretend)
This time that I spend
Trying to comprehend
My poetic bend
Was a way to transcend
Or at least extend
This final bookend
Of a poem.
– Shaman Romney 2016
When an old beginning ends,
A new beginning life portends.
With new experiences and brand new friends.
New colors match your personal blends.
When the new beginnings start,
The old ones do not fly apart.
They stay as beautiful pieces of art;
Locked away safely with your heart.
So when a beginning begins anew.
Remember all the things that you’ve been through.
Think of all the things that you’ll go on to do.
Of all life’s demons that you slew.
Hold those thoughts with you and smile.
You just made it through life’s trial.
The next one starts in a short while.
So when you live, live life in style.
