New Years Eve 2020

New Years Eve 2020 So many of us alone On this night of celebration! A time to reflect..... Light some candles to set the tone. I open Spotify and search Passenger, Pour myself a large glass of organic red. I select my favourite incense, And after lighting, I inhale the musky fragrance. I throw some more logs on the fire, Creating some warmth on this rainy night. So many memories of New Years past, Some wild parties, and vivid romantic nights. I shed some tears and I feel some sadness. As a song tears at my heart with it’s lyrics. Yes, so many of us alone after a difficult year. Covid has certainly thrown a wrench into plans. What is normal anymore, you might ask? Normal has become what it is for each of us, Life will never be the same as we enter 2021, But we hope we can find comfort with family and friends As we enter a new year, a new future, a new ‘normal’. Happy New Year to all my fellow poets !
