Tender is the time

That I begin

Again

In the start of any

Journey

Is life

The doubts

The trials

The crying

And the fears

Amidst all of this

It’s not enough

To stop

Trying

It’s a blink

Or a heartbeat

A moment

A second in time

Frozen

In history

As it happens

Over and over

So don’t wait for

Another second

To

Pass by

The foundation of life

On this planet

No matter where you grab it

Is the nutrition

Of vitality and a spring of abundance

I tap into this with some

Reservation

That I am not as good as

The next man

But I hope this nutrition

Can give me peace
