Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since we’re beginning a new year, the theme for this week is new
beginnings.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A poem for a bridal shower:
A marriage celebrates a new beginning:
A couple starting out as man and wife.
A shower celebrates a happy ending:
The last days of a woman's single life.
The wide world now has narrowed to a garden
In which I will my pleasures plant and reap.
The outlines of my character will harden
According to the promises I keep.
My joy will soon become a melody
In counterpoint to those for whom I care,
Seeking a profounder harmony
Than any I alone could know or bear.
So shall I find a greater grace within.
One life is over: Let the new begin!
