In The Beginning................

The start, the beginning of something.
Unsure, uncertain but definite.
It's a secret hope in a secret place.
A growing chance, a bare possibility.
It's the last thing on your mind at night,
The first thought in the morning.
It wakes you in the early hours
And is a constant companion.
If it was a film, the audience would see it,
If it was a book, the reader would predict it.
Heart burning, lung cramping, chest crushing, head filling.
It's real but unconfirmed.
