Begin again to the summoning birds
to the sight of light at the window

every day is a new start, sense of hope, lovely + healthy attitude. the days begin in the morning and end at night, you can try again the next day if yesterday did not go well
Every beginning is a promise
born in light and dying in dark

at couples sharing a sunny secret
alone together

insists that we forever begin
