Begin

Composed and performed by Bernadette Kellermann

Inspired by the following poem by Brendan Kennelly:

Begin

Begin again to the summoning birds 
To the sight of light at the window, 
Begin to the roar of the morning traffic 
All along Pembroke Road. 
Every beginning is a promise Born in light and dying in dark 
Determination and exaltation of springtime 
Flowering the way to work. Begin to the pageant of queuing girls 
The arrogant loneliness of swans in the canal 
Bridges linking the past and future
 Old friends passing though with us still. 
Begin to the loneliness that cannot end
 Since it perhaps is what makes us begin, 
Begin to wonder at unknown faces 
At crying birds in the sudden rain
 At branches stark in the willing sunlight 
At seagulls foraging for bread 
At couples sharing a sunny secret 
Alone together while making good.
 Though we live in a world that dreams of ending 
That always seems about to give in 
Something that will not acknowledge conclusion 
Insists that we forever begin.
