Every Beginning Ends

Whenever your life takes a turn for the worst, remember - every beginning ends.

We always start at the beginning. But this time I choose to start at the end. It was the end of a month falling between summer and autumn. I never liked autumn, reminded me of death. Death itself was the end. I wished i was dead at the end of that month, between summer and autumn. It was a serious case of everything collapsing around me. My life was coming to an end, surely? I was sacked from a job i hated so much. Kicked to the kerb by a woman i loved so much. And yet i continued to breathe. As much as i wanted the breathing to end.

So it was in the beginning of the month, a month between winter and spring. I liked spring, reminded me of new life. A new life itself is a beginning.

I walked up the street with my hands stiffly moving on my sides. Clothed in a black suit. Wearing a black tie. Black on black as some would say. My mouth was curved in a snarl. Irritated with everything i saw. Everything i felt. How could a stranger be so right? And i passed a blossoming tree, filled with dark green leaves. Overflowing actually, like a tall water fountain, the green leaves stretched out like water sprouting. Through the gaps i finally saw it. The gleaming streak of light as the wind lightly ushered the leaves back and forth…

I stood in awe. I stood still at a road, very much like a fork. The thoughts rushed…despite the dark days i went through, as much as i wanted things to end…It didn’t.

Simply because; as a simple man would say, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

I weathered the storm. I see the rainbow!

The voice of a stranger in my head. Echoing…”With every beginning, there is an end”

“And with every end, there is a new beginning”, I said to myself. I turned right at the fork. Smiling to myself…

Very interesting and thought provoking write! Love the twist that every ending has a new beginning...I couldn't agree more!!! That's how all should look at life and love.

As for starting this post with the ending I smile:) That's how I write. My reverse method...lol. I normally have my ending line and write to that end.

Wonderful write! I look forward to reading more of your work.

It does suck getting sacked...but you weren't meant to be there.

Maybe the colleagues were corrupt or you had to learn something, or another role is pulling you toward it....trust the process - with women too!

Warm Regards
