Journey Journal
NEW YEAR’ EVE 2024
By Leon Enriquez


The olde year dies
With a dreary sigh
Oozing away lost highs
Just one more day
Down the fading lines
A bygone dark relay
Of worn-out fears thus define

~~~~~~~~~


Guilt and regret
Confront olde time frets
Not ready for sunset
Here we resolve 
To be better yet
Still not able to solve
Or to win back our lost bets

~~~~~~~~~


Visualise more
To cluster galore
More to spice lacking stores
Sit with blank cares
See the last light fall
Spread sensuous silly stares
Can thought transmute sweet from gall?

~~~~~~~~~


Still the olde year
Disowns all our fears
Hurt feelings hug new cheer
So pain elopes
As cynic draws near
Grim olde hurts that still grope
As empty feel draws tightrope

~~~~~~~~~


Here in a gist
A few thoughts enlist
Resolutions we list
To be better
As the new year finds
Strange ideas that matter
Moves of soul, heart, body-mind

~~~~~~~~~


New Year’s Eve sums
Death of olde outcomes
As lost footfalls flee hump
We resolve thus
To greet strong head winds
To rise from forlorn dust
To bargain for more between

~~~~~~~~~
