Ode to a New Year
Once upon a time
I held on to my past
Now, I let the pain, and the bad go
And keep the lessons and the good with me
In the present.
It does not serve me or others
Nor does it have place in my future
Yet, I reorganize my thoughts
My emotions
My goals
Vigorously refocusing on
My dreams and my heart
And that has become, my haven
Chaos and a confused world
May try to make me doubt
But the truth remains
I am alive!
I have worth!
Beauty still exists in the world
And hope still thrives
It gives one much to be thankful for
Now I begin a new chapter
Blank, for now though it may be
Soon adventures
And discoveries
New beginnings
Like an old Sage’s story
Will fill its pages
But what story will it tell?
Will you, my love?
Find me this year
and walk with me?
There is so much to see
And beside you
Taking it all in
Is where I want to be.

I understand this poem. In the last days of a life. We shall see what we did and what we didn’t. Powerful and worthwhile poetry.

We all must leave the past behind and start anew. The past is a learning tool ,mistakes will always happen but to learn and face a new year with the eyes of adventure and wonder.. What will happen only God knows. Enjoy it.
