Yet another from the backlog
Begin Again
© John Voorpostel
You’d think I’d see it coming
When I found your fingerprints
In the sweetness of my nights
You were everything
Here I thought that I’d been winning
But I found myself imprisoned
When I was always ready
To begin again
It was right before my eyes
My freedom was condemned
Then was promptly resurrected
By the songs that we could sing
We sang songs of new beginnings
The ones that saw us winning
And when the song was over
We began again
We lit candles to our future
And we studied like in school
Determined we’d be good at
Doing all that lovers do
We learned all the saints will love you
For the pureness of your sins
So that when our lives surrender
We will begin again
We all dream of heaven
As a hard to get to place
But if you think about it
We can live in it today
Our love can have us thinking
Every day is ours for winning
And when heaven here is over
We can begin again
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Very elegant, John. My stuff is downright crass by comparison.

Hi John,
I agree with Jim. A lot of great writing. You always seem to do a good job with your choice of words.
