Last Day of the Year

















Memories, like a swirl
in a family recipe,
mixing ingredients

written long ago
traditions on a collision course
with new experiences

like the whirlwind
of a tornado
pulling out the old

blending it with the new
and in the confusion
loud screams and terror

the aftermath
a deafening quiet
wondering what to do next

with changes in the physical
landscape, the economic
condition and fluttering

of renewed hope
next year’s promise
of another beginning

review last year’s resolutions
some hit, some missed
now with greater resolve

I’ll create a new list
to make this year worth living
and to cope with the disappointments

one day at a time
creating adventures
taking risks to discover

my own style
never too late
to learn again

to stretch out
for new horizons
redefining what is possible.

Happy New Year Everyone!
