Year Out Year In

Star lit sky ushers in the new year
icy breath escaping from our lips.
Gone now into history year 2014
for me and mine, it was a great year.

Forward now to whatever the future holds
there, new paths opening up before our eyes .
Adventures await us if we are bold enough
to reach out and catch hold of that drifting dream.

Live life to the full and without regrets
the past can never, however much we try, 
be changed or altered in any way. Our mistakes 
leave behind just remember the lessons learned.

Live as one with nature and embrace it's inner peace
never forgetting to keep some quiet time each day
so that the words you write resound within minds
touching the chords of each and every poet heart.
