A NEW YEAR



they say the door has opened
we are stepping into a new life
leaving behind the shadows
of old and unwanton strife

nay may it be so to all
that despite the shadows
clinging and changing with
time shall no longer pull us down

for while the heart flies in
to new arenas and is caught up
with facing old pains once again
may we find new ways to fly again

the resolutions of the past
then again some new ones
some to be broken as always and
some to fulfil in time

nay there ain't any compulsions
for masters we are of our fate
we desire, then we doubt, then
we asses, then we give up once again

but while we last here for somewhile
there in the clouds of eternity
is being written and rewritten of fates 
that was that is and that could have been

yet we suffer for our dreams
in our dreams of love
till the fullfillment of time
or so till we embrace our dreams

so to say it would be better
to step forward with courage
into the new space of the so called
door of time

    Ah - the resolutions from the past & then some new ones. That is the way of it, it seems. I like the idea of stepping through the door of time.

    Sometimes we should not just see what’s new, but also how familiar another year can be... another door, and I love to see it open.

    I think we step forward and backward in time, our memories take us where they will.
    A new door though, opened to a better life, can only be good. Let us all step forward, resolute...
    I hope the New Year brings you much peace and love.

    what a wonderful poem to enter the new year speaking....it reflects so much of life as it unfolds....I particularly loved:

    'for while the heart flies in
    to new arenas and is caught up
    with facing old pains once again
    may we find new ways to fly again'

    Here's to those new ways as they change the landscape of our world and year. Happy New Year!
