Here is the New Year
brought to life
with blasts of fire
and bursts of light.
So much hope contained
in a single night.
But when the smoke clears
and the darkness comes,
my resolve is gone.
Here is the New Year
with the same ol' me,
wishing for something
more than a new calendar.
The turning of a page,
but not loose-leaf.
A new identity,
a fresh start
into a future of everything
I've been missing.
After The Party Is Over
"...wishing for something more/than a new calendar..." Queen of the one liner - this one was emotionally thoughtful regarding the hoopla of each New Year and the aftermath. Bravo! - Lady A
