I am probably at my strongest poetically up on a microphone when no one is really listening closely. However, I thought I'd try something new.. a little poem for the New Year. While it is true that in recent years I've grown to shy away from change, my love of traditions eclipses this habit and allows me to really enjoy the New Year holiday. The idea that next year at this time, things will be different, I will have grown and life will have changed excites me today. Let me know what you think of the poem below......
Beginning
Deep breathing, new believing, digging in or leaving, chest
heaving
Finding hope, finding love, shaking off, growing up
Starting over, re-beginning, holding treasures from your
winning
Letting it go but reining it in, opening slow, touching the
skin
Of the new beginning, of the new day, of this moment when I
hear you say:
“Good morning!”
It’s a new world, the race is on, the lights are green,
become a swan
Hoping for more, hoping for most. Living in present, leaving
the ghost
Of old days, of old hands, of things said, of broken plans
It is a new beginning.
There is fear, there are guts, there is bravery here with us
A fresh new old me and new old you trying to be who we said
we would be to
One another and all of the other one another’s we made
promises for
Feet on the floor, open the door. It is January with a zero score,
It is time for a new beginning.
