Happy New Year 2014

THE NEW YEAR (a few thoughts from an imperfect mind.)
THE TICK OF THE CLOCK.
THE TURN OF THE PLOT.
The “What did I do?”
The “What did I not?”

THE PRECIOUS PICTURES TAKEN.
THE MOMENTS IN AMBER CAUGHT.
The rushing too fast to savor.
The next thing to be sought. 

THE HAND YOU OFFERED.
THE ADVICE THEY DID TAKE.
The ones you ignored.
The eyes you forsake.

THE PRESENT OF THE PRESENT.
THE INSTANT MOST DEAR.
The day spent coasting.
The footprints not clear.

THE DINNER TOASTED WITH STORIES.
THE CANDLE GLOWS WITH SHARED FIRE.
The food that gets wasted.
The gossip that won’t tire.

THE SLEEP OF THE UNBURDENED.
THE FORGIVENESS’ FEEL.
The chaotic mind whirling.
The running on the hamster’s wheel.

THE QUIET STIRRING OF OATMEAL.
THE SILENCE FILLED WITH GREAT PEACE.
The cup looking quite empty.
The envy that won’t cease.

THE GIFT OF A SMILE.
THE WARMTH REFLECTS BACK.
The parties uninvited.
The friends that you lack.

THE SHOW THAT INTRIGUED.
THE ESCAPE OF THE BOOK.
The shatter of glass.
The harsh word you took.

THE LAUGHING WITH ABANDON.
THE HEART ON A GREAT RIDE.
The deep fire of anger.
The foolish dance of righteous pride.

THE PROMISE OF A SUNRISE.
THE SPLENDOR OF THE MOON.
The loss of those passing.
The saying goodbye too soon.

FOCUS ON THE FIRST.
LET LOOSE OF THE LAST.
Cherish all the good.
The time goes too fast.

A DAY.
A YEAR.
A LIFE.
AMEN.

Happy new year. May it be one of joy, laughter and growth.
