No New Years Day

Life is a long journey Of triumphs and despair There exists long roads of broken hearts The ditches filled with tears War torn voyages, falling leaves There is not a bird in site All living things have moved away The sad torments within The barren landscape surrounding me Year after year Here I sit Staring into the past, with a sad smile I hold an empty champagne glass in my hand A new year soon to be The stars shine bright in the coldness of night time skies The champagne pops, explosions ring I fade within myself Wishing No New years Day

Forlorn emotions succinctly portrayed here my friend. But your poem truly echoes how many of us feel. Impressive write. Ps. I am back at PS.

Hi Arthur; This a beautiful poem, but sad. A lot of people might feel like this, but we have to be greatful for what we have. I think we have more than what we deserve, a lot of people have less. Smile Jesus loves you and me too. Lett's toast to the New Year. ... Lucilla
