New aspirations and fresh inspirations
Echoing past, we walk towards a new day
Weathering together beneath the crystal ball
Yearning for the New Year to steadily arrive
Enthralled by the concept of beginning anew
Asembling and celebrating we await the hour
Resolutions are made and hopefully kept
Sparklers and streamers and party hats too
Everything goes with bubbly champagne
Vow to make the New year count and recall
Eve's extravaganza, as you ring in a New Year.
Life's Tapestry
Life begins: a single thread
Inlayed throughout as one
Faceted; a tapestry
Entwining hopes and dread
'Sembling extracts not quite done.
Torn brocades of woven silk
Aloft on dusty walls
Pull at strings of mother's milk
Ellipsing vacant halls.
Shadows press the looking glass
Towards the light then fall.
Running colours fading fast
Yaw past the muted call.
