New Year Inflection

The year is dead, long live new year Don’t dwell too long, don’t shed a tear For what is gone, is done, goodbye There is no how, no who, no why Instead go forward, see far, head up Drink joyous gulps from the loving cup Tomorrow’s a glow, this moment burns bright So embrace yourself, your star, your light Tonight is magic, an inflection in time It’s not about rhythm, but more about rhyme So be safe, be happy, and healthy always And let love be with you all of your days

Hi Tony. Thank you for your kind words and feedback. It’s my first time publishing a poem so was a bit nervous. Indeed, let’s hope 2023 is better for all of us. Take care Stephen
