The Year Is New
The year is new.
The season fresh
Like ripe bananas
Ready to be picked,
Plucked and eaten.
Like the jungle.
Ready to be explored
Experienced, caressed.
Opportunities ocean-wide
Optimism skyscraper high
Helium filled dreams just waiting
To burst and fall into your hands.
The year is new.
She has exchanged her clothes,
Washed her face,
And now and refreshed,
Ready,
Eager to take you
Hold you,
Teach you.
Welcome her with open arms.
Wherever she leads you this year
Follow her with cat’s curiosity.
