beginagain

When I hear that song start, I fall in love all over again.
Strikingly bold in its timidity; melody pronounced, softly.
Has your heart been arrested?
Have you felt the excited tingle, the breathing from your breastbone, the awareness of your restriction?
Then settle in
to the very moment, note by note,
echo by echo,
layer
by
layer.
So aware. Fully present and simultaneously anticipatory,
hopeful
sonorous significant subtlety.

These
are only beginnings,
our only-beginnings.
Our own.
