Stephen Doherty Poet Rhyme

New Year Inflection

The year is dead, long live new year
Don’t dwell too long, don’t shed a tear

For what is gone, is done, goodbye
There is no how, no who, no why

Instead go forward, see far, head up
Drink joyous gulps from the loving cup

Tomorrow’s a glow, this moment burns bright 
So embrace yourself, your star, your light

Tonight is magic, an inflection in time 
It’s not about rhythm, but more about rhyme

So be safe, be happy, and healthy always
And let love be with you all of your days
