“This year, I promise…”

To be reckless, carefree, goofy.

Laughing at situations, ...

Nature’s fireworks,

Lighting up horizons.

Not in celebration, ...

I’d hug you,

Close,

Long and hard. ...

A not so happy fish,

Surrounded by stars,

Adorning a roof, ...

Bask with me,

In winter’s cool sun.

Rare days, ...

Strange sign.

Then again,

It’s unusual times, ...

Submerged and cold,

In winter’s hazy pond.

Wish I was with you, ...

To blow away is scary.

Yet appears soothing,

Beautiful. ...

Grains of sand,

Falling in the hourglass,

Like never before. ...

Once,

There were lines,

Standing by, ...

Even in the darkest of forests,

Light shines through.

Belief, ...

Stopping momentarily.

Curious to peek inside.

But there was nothing ...

End of another day,

As the moon,

Kisses the sun, ...

Life’s complicated.

Too many signs,

Options, ...

Tired today.

Need to lay down.

Relax, breathe, ...

Some windows,

Don’t need bars,

To keep things out. ...

There are days,

It feels scary,

Standing alone, ...

Down into the valley,

Past the forests,

Far away. ...

You’re old,

Scratched,

Shedding skin. ...

Beautiful souls

Are all around.

Often disguised. ...
