Poems and Short Quips - 24. Another Year

Ruminations as 2017 draws to a close...

Another year sneaks up

Slips by like the wind –

Twelve months gone by

And I fear I never lived,

Twelve months gone by

And I crumple and discard each one

Like torn pieces of holiday paper

Removed from shiny, empty promises,

Now forgotten

Now becoming another layer

Of the waste we collect and endure.

 

Create a new path,

Start a new journey,

Make shit happen!

 

This I insist

As I stand amongst the ruins

Clutching shiny wrappings

Wondering where the days went

Wondering where the wind took me

Tossing bygones and regrets

Into the dreamy ebb and flow

Of Time’s continuous current –

Cyclical tides that cleanse me

Cyclical tides that usher

In the New Year,

Revealing all that is glorious,

All that is potential.


Thank you for reading, and Happy New Year.

good day for a poem Sir.  You did a lot in the past year .. we all do, though much isn't permanent, or feels like it isn't. There is so much shiny stuff in life that we cannot hold on to.. i think it's pretty normal. And take it from one who knows about empty years ... shove em in a box, Sir. Forget them and look forward, cuz really, that is all there is.  I know 2018 will be a better one, because i want it to be.. sounds like You feel the same, Sir.  Happy New Year!

Introspective words , a thought provoking work. It’s 00h56 here and since reading your words , I’ve sat ( with my drugged dogs) and watched the neighbours pour small fortunes of fiery aspirations into the heavens and wondered , will they last the night ? Will they make shit happen ? Happy New Year , wishing you happiness , health and prosperity .

We get busy, and the better things in life slip by when we are dealing with the necessary.  I think you're right we need to make something happen.  Make time for the things we love to do. I do believe it's possible. I think also that not all accomplishments are things we'll see immediately. Seeds we plant today may take time to come to fruition. 

 

I hope you will find time for things you love in life, Mac. All the best in 2018.
