Twenty Seventeen

Twenty Seventeen

Who am I on January 2nd,
Am I who I was on November 1;
More dominoes have fallen,
How quickly, increasing, unceasing.

So deep in loneliness gripping;
Hungover without the wine,
And blind to what meditation 
Reveals quickly, and as quickly steals.

I rattle between the crash of symbols,
Concentration stolen away;
Who am I on January 2nd?
Let the future have its way.

If your poem is any indication of who you are in the coming year, then it is a great preview. This was wonderful Sunlite. Just keep shining my friend.
