Poem 210 – On Beginning

On Beginning

how you begin
is to begin

start the document in word
open to a fresh page in the journal
connect to the internet
highlight the paragraph in the book

give the thing a title
even if the title is ‘Title’
swing palms of ideas
in the air
welcome them with
song and faith
each contemplation is a prophet
that will change your world

accept that you are the idea
the palm
the prophet
the change

so begin

slip into the slick opening
of ecstasy patiently awaiting
your boundless creativity
