Invitation

Some days call for solitude.
Some days, the life stirring inside cannot be ignored.
When the days of despair have passed,
When life has been restored,
How can I go on in the same way?
The old is gone. Dead. Past.

This morning the birds are singing.
Everyday a new invitation.
Look, listen.
Come, go.
You are dying.
You are being reborn.
