lights shoot across
the night sky
dazzling eyes
reflecting the
burning glitter
through anticpating
souls
this year becomes
the past
stepping down to
the present
new year
saying goodbye
to what will
never be again
only to be remembered
by memories with
old photographs attached
taking us back to moments
we can feel
but will never
touched again
it's a bittersweet
moment as the
ball drops in
new york city
welcoming another
year to the
table of life
cheers are announced
kisses are shared
tears are shed
happiness runs through
my veins
an undeniable
smile I can't let go
of making my cheeks
swell with pure joy
my cat comes running
moving the pages of
my notebook
and playing with
the bookmarker
trying to get
my attention
leaving hair
on the pages
while clawing
the rolling stone
magazine
in front of me
bob dylan
plays in the
background
for the soundtrack
to remember this
tiny but precious
moment
we don't remember days
we remember moments
I capture many moments
through writing words
on pages that take me
back to the moments
when I read them again
as my cat sits
on the table
watching me
write these words
the times they are a-changin'
gives me hope and courage
for what's to come
in this new year
fireworks can be
heard from all around
to become louder
in the upcoming hours
closing the book
of this year
with 365 pages
filled with stories
told differently by
every soul you meet
life is in constant motion
as the sunsets
as the moon rises
showing the universe with
too many questions
the years fly by
the older we become
it's a fact
no one can deny
it's a feeling
we cannot express
clearly through
common words
as the wind blows
as the stars glisten
as the ball drops
as the year turns
we begin once again
