The First

It's hard to get started.
The beginning is the most fearful of events.
Not knowing how to get the stone rolling,
Not knowing the actions to be taken,
Not knowing the words to be spoken,
Are the worst of the pains of life.

I, however, am ready.
Ready to start over in anonymity
And ready to begin a new chapter.
The future is not to be known at this point,
The outcomes can possibly be feared.
But I take the consequences as they come.

Don't ask me my name.
Nor my address, phone number, etc.
I don't want to be known.
Call me Gardenia.
Give me a nickname.
Whatever you wish.
One rule: don't ask and obey what little I ask of you.

More to come....
Maybe much more....or maybe just a goodbye.
Can't tell as of yet.
