Happy New Year

Hello, time flocked to fly again, happy hello to you Ambivalent expectations due to present conditions Ponder the climate you brew Pleasures like sand dunes in hourglass attritions Yield yearnings from excavated hope Nurture me with dreams, satisfy my needs Embrace me in the landscape's scope: no resolutions here. Welcome, new beginning, let me follow thy leads Yesterday is gone, and joy nor pain returns Each man must altar here his sacred trust All humanity in our patchwork place discerns Redemption from the fallen tear, a new design of lust.

another winner, very good writing, i have a problem with resolutions though, nothing to do with your writing, but resolutions on a hold. I believe if a person make up their mind to stop something, just go for it head on come hell or high water, make a decision. resolution don't work.

Thought provoking poem! Definitely beats New Years resolutions that never get done. I especially like your 5th and 10th lines. Happy New Year to you too--also hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season. Thank you for your kind comments. Karen
