Something New Poem by Etienne Charilaou

Dazzling Original - truly
Different Something - live
New Something - a
Beyond Spontaneous - moment

Yesterday I craved
this new freedom,
this liberating desire
to live a life
unlike any gone before.

For though a life's non-ordinary,
lived in an unusual mode,
in the Bohemian fashion perhaps,
it's yet another mold.

Cycle, repetition, routine dull,
though graced by novelty and fun,
seem as the ancient wisdom expounds -
certainly it's done the rounds:
‘There's nothing new under the sun.'

There's a wisdom we forget,
remind us does the Zen set:
Every moment is something new.
And too, under the Son - everything new.
