A New Year Reflection

Partys for couples new lovers and just friends. Music to fill the night the streets of New york breath life to old flames keeping even jaded souls warm. The lonley gather round the TV. sharing a glimpse at something we all yern to have. And from the up high the streets seem magic tonight. the soudtrack of the night will echo into are hungover minds with a painful yet happy reminder of last nights celebration. Late night lovers will smile and go there awkward ways. So many acts in so many different plays. creeping back to are corners in lastnights suit and tie. Tight little black dress kiss worn lips acting happier than two kids ragged in need of a shave you with hair in a mess. And for friends that gather to relive not so real past glory. The pages are left to the writter. To add to lastnights not so original story. As the barflys gather to battle another unsober day. I watch this first new day anew. Take a sip from my flask and thank the lord for one more year with you. And tonight I say to you all raise that glass. kiss that stranger you know so well. Laugh love and live. And thank whomever ya choose weve made it through another year to tell.
