A BEGINNING FOR NEW BEGINNINGS by Angela Jackson.

and some where distantly
there is an answer
as surely as this breath
half hangs befo my face
and some where there is a move meant
as certain as the wind
arrives and departs from me.

and always.
there is the struggling to be
and constantly our voices rise.
in silent straining to be free…

and somewhere
there is an answer. a How.
that I can feel and be felt in.
and live within a Reason
and a Way
and some time
there is a Morning.
the rise of an Other Day.

waiting out this night.

the Fight is in the living thru

close/d and secure in u)
but this time.
our eyes cannot see.
and the night lends no helping hand.
the waters of this land
are freezing.

still
i. and we. Struggle.
and we float.
children. together (u. me. she. and us. and him.
together. children.
we learn How
to swim……
