NEW YEAR’S EVE 2023
For Ann
Here on the verge
The old year droops
With weary sighs
As distant highs
Fade in odd scoop
Can joy emerge?
Here on the verge
Last jigsaw piece
Old strains now fade
In a rough trade
A new life lease
Can cheer emerge?
~~~~~~~~~
Bold thoughts emerge
With timely take
With anxious feel
With strange appea
With unsure stake
Here on the verge
Bold cheer emerge
A certain change
A new day brings
A new year springs
A cast most strange
Here on the verge
~~~~~~~~~
On New Year’s Eve
Resolutions
Can spark new rhymes
Can slot in time
Can frame action
New flair, new gifts
On New Year’s Eve
Resolve to be
A better man
A time to plan
Just be happy
New flair, new gifts
~~~~~~~~~
My dear darling
Hand-in-hand we
Walk our journey
Be most happy
As we can be
As good thoughts spring
My dear darling
Our life story
Unfolds lovely
Our chemistry
Simply, aptly
As kind thoughts bring
~~~~~~~~~
Sing to the dawn
Happy New Year
A blank page here
To start good cheer
That now draws near
A lovely morn
Sing to the dawn
Let faith purge fear
Most crystal clear
As gracious cheer
Succeeds right here
A timely dawn
~~~~~~~~~
