The New Year

A start
huge dreams
schemes goals a new
anything is possible
a clean slate to start again
trains of wisdom
each car an experience
the previous year
very different
looking back on the track
the old year still looming large
threatens to crash the new year’s party
experiences building insight
the light growing
now I know
I hope
for the best of all possible years

A New Relationship

A start
the best foot forward
excitement
dreams like a waterfall
a turn it takes
everyday light sparkling
a diamond on her hand
delight in the way forward
through the boulders
stones of friendship
children and love
raining down on me
potential
there is in a new year
a new day
begun a new ….

The End in The Beginning

The happy ending is in the beginning
growing there to
challenge
the trick is seeing
what is here
at the beginning
today
