today is the first day of the rest of my life

today is the first day of the rest of my life

i wake as a child to see the world begin. on monarch wings and birthday wonderings

want to put on faces

walk in the wet and cold. and look forward to my growing old

to grow is to change

to change is to be new

to be new is to be young again

i barely remember when. my memories are stolen by the morning

blotted out by the suns hypnotic eye. i'll abide the sun's hypnotic eye. today is the first day of the rest of my life

i wake as a child to see the world begin. on monarch wings and birthday wonderings

want to put on faces

walk in the wet and cold. and look forward to my growing old.
