A new year
3:01 PM
A new year

Another year has flown by
A new year marches in.

Where did it all go?
Swiftly, swiftly flows the sands of time.
Never slowing never stopping,
Day by day, always turning.

A new year dawns...
The old one draws to an end.

Hopes, dreams, wishes, goals
Some brought to birth
Others scattered afar by the wind
Some fulfilled, and some not.

Tidings of joy
Tidings of sorrow
Unavoidable and avoidable,
But still all is brought forth.

Bliss, hurt, forgiveness and peace
All companions in the days of the year
Never knowing what's coming
As around the corner we turn.

Watching and waiting
For things that have passed us by
And are passing us
And for those that are yet to pass.

Friendships made and friendships lost
Those who hurt and those who cared
The expected and the unexpected
The known and the unknown.

Many surprises, many facts
Some pleasant and again, some not.

Are you looking back over your shoulder,
Just standing and looking where you are
Or are you looking forward?
To what happened or didn't happen.

Many questions seeking answers
That are in places unexpected found.

Some behind you and some beside you
Some tucked away in a dusty corner
Some placed right in front of us
And some that remain unanswered,
For better or for worse.

But yet we do not see them,
Till one day, clarity comes
Swiftly, quietly and stunningly
And we realise that its time has passed.
Than perhaps, you might very well wish
That clarity had not come at all.

Or if fortune favours you
Than mayhap its not too late.

So if you will then take your chance
For life passes without a glance.

Apologies tendered, greetings given,
Decisions made, choices chosen.
Some with joy and some with pain,
Some withheld and some freely with ease.

Many smiles and many tears
Many hopes and many fears.

Are you smiling with a tinge of regret
Or do the tears come with tiny smiles
Of precious times so happily filled
But have gone and are no longer to come

And the one question that flits through your mind,
What will the new year bring?


Happy and Blessed New Year to all!!!
