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!
