The New Year

Another year offers itself Like the smile spittling newborn Gleaming with womb waste, Ready or not, The new year teeters through Love and lessens, Lament and force.

Interesting write, thought provoking to me. The 3rd line seem to suggest the unresolved presence of past mistakes and you are right, many of us do take some of the old into the new. Perhaps that is one thing, we humans need to learn more, to have closure on the past as the new begins. Thank you for sharing and happy new year to you and yours! Caroline.
