Out with the old,
In with the what?
A redo, a make over, a clean slate.
Wipe it
Trash it
Delete 2010 to our memory banks
For those of us who can still remember.
Remember,
Remember when my world was crashing in,
smaller, tangled, and so far away.
Where I was blotted out of my own picture frame.
A gaping whole remained where I use to reside.
A ghost in my own play,
where friends swirled around me
and family walked by me,
and the pain and the confusion
was sinking me amidst
glistened uncertaintude and
pitiful doubt.
Good bye 2010,
You didilled while I dithered.
Now I have a second shot,
A miracle gift
A rainbow slide
Lift the veil
Ride the light
to wonder.
Savor moments of 2010
hug a bugs from grown children
ecstasies in the night
wise words sailing through me
shared in a never-land of friendship.
Each day I shall romp
in the riches of my days,
by the hearth with a good book,
in the rain hearing the rhythm of each drop
soaking in the sun and feeling its strength.
Arm in arm with Ralph,
giggling with Ilana
laughing with Shaun
listening with friends to the
wind against our cheeks
and the wisdom resonating in our marrow.
I shall set out like
Marco Polo to find
the art of my life.
Welcome 2011.
So begins a new page.
