Everything is New

My task seems daunting,

Keeping this up for a year.

I wonder how many new ideas I can come up with?

Of course the answer is none,

Nothing new under the sun, and all that.

It will be the point of view that’s different,

If you buy the idea that individuals

Are unique and wonderfully made,

That each person sees through eyes

No one has had before,

Each thought, image, and feeling

Processed for the first time

In whatever it is inside us

We call an I.

No one has ever been me or you before,

Has never lived our lives

Up to their present points.

So, while ideas may be old,

Right now, for me and you,

Everything is new,

And mystery is right around the corner.
