By Quintus

When Editor Katelin said, “Write about New Beginnings,” Quintus went right away to new beginnings of the heart . . . .

Maybe you’ve seen too many tragedies

And had too many grievances

You feared the past and are unwilling to look back

But life is real when it’s full of twists and turns

People get persistent after experiencing pains

And the story hasn’t come to an end

Let’s forget how sad the past was

Open the wounded wings

Put on the fallen crown for yourself

No matter how crazy the world is

We are phoenixes rising in fire

We have new heartbeats after burning

Love becomes vigorous after the hurt

And real after sacrifice

And time hasn’t stopped

Mourn with a smile; death is a precursor to resurrection

Listen to the call of the future; bury the pain and sorrow

Old things don’t matter anymore; everything has come to

A forever full stop

We rose from the dead

We lost and recovered

Old things have passed and all become new

New heartbeats
