The pursuit is not as much to attain
The full ripeness of self-confidence,
But to rather pass through it,
To observe its gears from the mind's
Eternal shore, its brass and bravado.
I saw three orange lights on New Years Eve
In the dark and smoky distance
Of my parent's neighborhood.
Then above the street three clouds converged,
one swallowing the other, the third
Swallowing both.
Does the mere fact that we are loved
By God give us all the certainty we will
Ever need? In our movements, thoughts,
And actions?
I shifted in my patio chair,
and suddenly noticed not three lights,
But four. These I stapled to my heart.
As the clock strikes twelve, we bid farewell,
To the passing year, its tales we tell.
With champagne's sparkle, we gather 'round,
To welcome the new, with joy profound.
In this realm of possibility's embrace,
Let resolutions bloom, with steadfast grace.
We strive to grow, to learn and change,
In pursuit of dreams, we rearrange.
With hearts alight and spirits high,
We lift our voices to the starry sky.
A rhyme to mark this moment grand,
A tribute to the year, hand in hand.
May it bring laughter, friendship true,
Success and love in all we do.
May dreams take flight, on wings unseen,
And fill our days with purpose keen.
Each day a chance to start anew,
To chase our passions, to dare and do.
To learn, to grow, to shed our fears,
And embrace the joys this year endears.
So let us raise a joyful toast,
To the turning page, that we may host,
A year of blessings, dreams unfurled,
A new beginning for the world.
Are you a person who keeps his promises or breaks them all the time
Take the one most people at New Years make to themselves after that last bottle of wine
The old saying I am a man of my word what does that really mean
How about our governments and what they claim they are going to do for us ,why do they not just come clean
A broken promise can cause a great deal of pain to the person you make it to
Take for instance your wedding vows over fifty percent of the people never follow through
Or how about the old classic , I promise to never do that again
It is not a question of the person breaking the promise it is a question of when
Accountability for our actions should not magically disappear
By not being on time it can cause a cascading effect and make it impossible for other people to keep their promises I fear
If we want our children to stick to their word , an example we must surely set
Actions do indeed speak louder than words , keep your promises it's something you won't regret
As most of the world ends the year 2022, let us remember that endings open us to new beginnings. And that even though we celebrate New Year on 01 January, you can start again at any time. It's your life. Make it count for you! Blessings and best wishes for a fabulous 2023.
Endings
By Michelle Morris
31/12/2022
Endings are often poignant
When they pull at our heartstrings
But sometimes they are painful
When they make our heart bleed
They don't always have to be
A dark and foreboding thing
When we achieve our dreams
They're an ending and beginning
For each ending is like a chapter
Of your special life's book
And you get to write the stories
Of what your life's about
Sometimes you'll need endings
So that you can begin a new story
Whether tranquil or exciting
It's important to enjoy them all
May all your life endings start
The beginning of something beautiful
May you be blessed to experience
A life that's pure and true
Create more magic in your world
Feel the mystery and the miracles
You get to choose each moment
And make endings that are memorable

Sitting With The Wood Dragon
For over forty-five years
I’ve been meditating on and off,
Some times a lot,
Some times not at all
But as I sit this New Year’s Day
Welcoming in the Wood Dragon
I think maybe I’ve never
Actually meditated at all
Unlike riding a bicycle
Sitting observing my mind
And its thoughts today
Doesn’t feel familiar
I know what to do
But can’t remember
Ever having done it before
As if the person who did it then
Wasn’t the same as the one now
And it makes me feel like a fool
Or fake or better yet
Simply a beginner
Who sits once again
With his beginner’s mind
In the moment
A dragon
Powerful and challenging
Waiting to be tamed
(2/11/24)
January, so you've met December
Touched his decorated tree
And seen the tinsel, star, and toys that please
'Pon New Year's Day you saw him leave
weakness hit you in your knees
'Twas such a cold experience that long lasting breeze
But in your cold depths you have healed wanting to meet February
Knowing with his appearance your cold will evaporate into the beginnings
of spring
Spring you haven't experienced only cold, rain, wind, ice and snow
But how you long to meet Spring and see the joy it brings
Only Hot Cocoa, warm fires and long lazy nights have you enjoyed
But you've heard of summer where the nights are warm and short and
people go out to play in the night seeing fireflies and moonbeams..
January you've been given a bad rap of having a ever changing temperment
Many don't look for your good qualities of letting the earth rest from
feeding all the shrubs, trees, flowers, and grass that drink the earth's life giving
nutrients......
January I am so glad that I got to meet you and will look forward to our time together
again next year.
Your Friend Always..

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
January 1 is New Year's Day!
Is it special in any form or way?
Is there anything special in the Heavens to see?
--Not there that I know of, or under the sea.
The day is not marked by significant event;
Not by Christmas, or Easter, or the Six Weeks of Lent.
Yet perhaps we've a 'clean slate' at the start of the year?
Tell me: Does yesterday's baggage poof! disappear?
And is everything really so new and so fresh?
Did we empty and burn all of last year's trash?
Now, the Chinese and Jewish New Years have real meaning;
But January 1, alas, seems a tad overweening.
--Oh, hang all this negativity! Enough of this rot!
I'm goin' out New Year's Eve; January 1's all I've got!
“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” - Quote by Confucius
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It is at this time of
the year I clearly gaze
longer, searching for
serenity in my home
I have inherited
40 cartons of books
on literature,
Dewey sorted, dusted, rare
I have collected
stationery too
much to be true, many
unused, many of no use
I even bought ten
trendy books on art
of decluttering but
failed to read them through and through
Cluttered mind races.
I sit with my soul
in lotus pose feeling
at home in my cluttered home
Hope to stay awake
until midnight this New Years Eve
Not to watch the fireworks
but ignite a spark of inspiration
The first blank chapter of the year
with fresh New Year's resolutions
for the future of tomorrow
My list is not a long one:
I'm not asking for an easier life
but patience and strength
Don't eat chocolate
when I can't sleep at night
- and ask who ate it up
the following day
I will close each day positively,
before I kiss you goodnight
The clock strikes twelve, bells toll, firecrackers burst,
A new era of time will begin all around,
New hopes and ambitions will reignite in mind,
Yet old wishes still would linger around in the heart.
For peace in distant lands,
Starvation and refugee problems will diminish,
May kindness bloom in every land,
And grace the touch of every hand.
May good health and joy,
Be part of everyone’s life,
May homes be filled with laughter and cheer,
And hearts unburdened by pain or fear.
Love eternal, a wish so pure,
Its gentle light forever sure.
May bonds unbroken, strong, and true,
Bind all the years, both old and new.
