A New Day

I watched the day
 it came in just after morning light on the bay
 eerily dark and spectacular gray;
how wild and restless blew the northeast winds
 each a howl upon the trees up down unhinged,
 racing hurriedly out to the seas
while on the far set horizon eased
 ice-cold rain set upon a winter freeze
 with New Year's day, 
 just another decade away;
the rhythm of the clock tick tocked the minutes into hours
 drawn seconds away from the old year's powers
 and as the bells rang out so loud, so clear
 the crowds below shouted and cheered;
twenty-twenty, a decade too quickly come
 with a faint look back to what we've done
 and a wonder questioning who we have become.
I watched the day, 
 the years ticking fast away
 what waits beyond this new horizon
I wait patient and hopeful for wise compromising
 no deceit, no lies, no fake news, truth at last, rising.
