Every day I begin again

As the sun and moon shake hands at dawn I start a fresh

There are beginnings in every moment

Each breath signals my rebirth.

Inhaling life. Exhaling the rest. 

Letting go of that which no longer serves me.

Releasing what’s no longer needed

Inhaling love. Exhaling the rest. 

But with each opportunity to start again 

I must remember what has come before.

Honour every skin I have shed

Every person I have been

Every lover that has shared my heart

My bed

My head 

I am only here because of that which came before  

I can no easily erase my past than I can delete the stars from the sky

And I ask you - why would I want to?

I am an evolution

A continuous cycle 

An ever changing catalogue of laughter, love, tears and grief.

Scars and marks track my skin and trace my heart lines

With every day.

In every breath.

I die a death.

But when I emerge into the light.

Into my new beginning 

Perfectly imperfect

Human and raw

I remember I am always me

Filled with mess and completed flawed

But yet, there is no one else I would want to begin again with.

There is no one else I’d rather be 

But simply at the start of this new beginning 

Simply 

With 

Me.
