BEGINNINGS (A POEM BY BLACQ2009) by blacq2009(m): 8:32am On Apr 11, 2016 |
Beginnings are presented every hour: To every human. Some are small, trivial But important. Everything emanates from small beginnings: The biggest river was once a rivulet: Over which the grasshopper could leap: The fiercest flood was but a little drop of rain: The lethal conflagration was birthed by a match stick: Recklessly thrown about: The sturdy oak, that endures countless storms of many winters, Traces it's ancestory to the acorn: The highest mountain, Begun a molehill: Burrowed by the tiniest insect: A beginning is a cause Tailed by an effect Or trains of effects: As same nature as the itself: It presupposes an ending,a goal. Just as a door leads to a path, And the path to a destination, So does beginnings lead to results: And results, to completion. There are right beginnings: There are wrong beginnings: Both equating to effects of like nature. Hence, begin each day rightly: Minding not the sins of yesterday: Wake up early each day: Mathematically lay the foundation For that edifice: If it should stand the test of time. The early morning dew Reduces to a rubbish heap, that house: Which was built by spittle. For mother nature annihilates confusion. Or confusion is itself annihilation. Begin everything unitedly harmonized, Up to the success of the undertaking. Wise men are masters of the power hidden beneath little beginnings. Foolish men pass them by as "trivial".
