The latter is at the end. First the beginning.
The latter is at the end.
First is the beginning.
This is always the cue of every start
Here there is excitement, curiosity, fear, and joy.
Avidity for a new experience
Curiosity about the unknown
Naivety is the result of fear
Joy in the heart that cannot be explained.
Each book begins with the first chapter
Every character made for reason
Every person has a root
Always in the beginning there is uncertainty
We await the outcome.
At last they said with certain joy.
But why in the end
On the last page of the book
the last breath of life
and at the last step of the feet.
Is gradually returning to our memory,
the first page,
first time eye opens,
and first trace that made.
Where there is excitement, curiosity, fear and joy.
The latter is at the end.
First is the beginning.
