A New Beginning
Rain's drizzling from forest canopies,
Evening sun peeking through leaves,
Flowers rising from decaying hues
Amid the woods tangled and untidy.
Shadows are dancing unknowingly
Whispering evening wind songs,
To the music of a distant waterfall.
They witnessed my arrival
With a cautious screech and roar,
A suspecting growl, and buzz.
It was the elephants' trumpeting
That made chimpanzees scream.
In the wilderness of dissonance
I'm seeking peace and harmony.
Moon is emerging from darkened hues,
A shiny star is peering through.
A starry night guides my path,
Silently contemplating, traversing
The mountains of nothingness;
Meditating to exit solitude,
Looking for the glorious morning sun.
Magical palace where you dream
The arrival of a new world
Worshipping serendipity,
Drowned in agony, swallowing reality.
The fog of misery has vanished
Disappearing like the morning mist.
Birds are singing morning songs,
Rising horizon signals a new beginning.
