Happy New Year

Hello, time flocked to fly again, happy hello to you
Ambivalent expectations due to present conditions
Ponder the climate you brew
Pleasures like sand dunes in hourglass attritions
Yield yearnings from excavated hope

Nurture me with dreams, satisfy my needs
Embrace me in the landscape's scope: no resolutions here.
Welcome, new beginning, let me follow thy leads

Yesterday is gone, and joy nor pain returns
Each man must altar here his sacred trust
All humanity in our patchwork place discerns
Redemption from the fallen tear, a new design of lust.
