Jubilant Joy

JUBILANT JOY

Joy in each crinkled smile, each twinkling
Upturned wink. Thunderous clouds cheer
“Brave New Year.”  The petals of the old
In a year of memories, pressed and worn.
Laughter lights up the lightning sky.
Aurora Borealis in fine Winter clothes
Near the roaring January hearth of snow.
Tantalizing cork rips the unweathered sky.

Jubilant celebration — an unknown destination
Of resolutions and who knows what. A hope
Yearning with great expectations for the aged and youth.
