New moon on the rise

New moon on the rise

And the water level is decreasing
yet I’m

Into patterns reacquainted
Into habits reinvented

Into the chaos of my mind
And the clutter of my heart

Seeing them for the first time
I cried

For the loss, for the beginning
For the adventure still unventured
For the times still unmentioned.

I can laugh now.
