Echoes
Old times slip away
A year in a day
Through happy and sad
Highlights peace most glad
Fond memories stay
A good cache of strays
Weary hours take flight
Fade away from sight
Here on rough terrain
Cast out the old pains
Set our common view
On new year's fond cue
The old year's last light
Greets new year's insight
New light from old dark
Darkness lights a spark
Morning glow and mist
Hurls new year's promise.
Echoes of old hint
Bright visions now mint
Songs from old times now
Renewed here somehow
Joy spreads sanguine cheer
Love lives now and here
The passage of time
Brings message that chimes
The moment awaits
Grand fate at love's gate
Echoes from within
Grace the world unseen
A stillness spurs cheer
Beauty greets truth here
May you live most clear:
A Happy New Year
