I don't know where to start, where to begin
where to begin or start to finish
where to finish entirely with this poem
because there is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it
So this is the end of the beginning
but not the beginning of the end
for the middle is in its duration
and there’s still so much that can be said
but so very little time to say it
However this is the start of the end
as I’ve forgotten what I was meant to say
but as I draw this to a close remember
there really is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it
where to begin or start to finish
where to finish entirely with this poem
because there is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it
So this is the end of the beginning
but not the beginning of the end
for the middle is in its duration
and there’s still so much that can be said
but so very little time to say it
However this is the start of the end
as I’ve forgotten what I was meant to say
but as I draw this to a close remember
there really is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it
Poetry is the unexpected utterance of the soul
