Happy New Year Bell

 


 

β—―

Heartburnt emotions.

An absent abundance of hope,

Positivity retreats in each direction.

Peace teeters on a thinning rope, 

You all yearn for unity and reconciliation 

                                              

Nurturing desires for this fresh new year,

Eager anticipation for possible world cohesion.

Wished for prosperity and environmental cheer.

The New Year Cometh

The held breath of midnight.

The old year solemnly folds.

Heralding blank canvases

Future stories as yet untold.

Fireworks, their colours burst,

In a star-studded velveteen sky,

A celebratory good riddance 

Last year finally passes by.

Welcoming, most heartedly 

Expectations of this newer year

Counting down the final seconds 

In unison, we raise a cheer

Profferi...

Another New Year’s Morning.

Smoked and smooth-whisky aged brain with a stab in the right temple.

Start as you mean to go on.

 

The primary glee of proverbial blank slates fresh starts new year new me           (new you, hopefully)

Rubbing my hands together and over the smooth cream pages of 2021

Ready to splatter in powder paint blue red yellow black pink pink pink..

New Year Addiction

Those few seconds before the new year

when the countdown begins,

my soul soars with so much hope and joy.

When the ball drops at Times Square,

there is a momentary

return to innocence.

As the confetti flies and music fills the air,

I imagine we are a world at peace...

no worries, no violence, no division,

just a few beautiful seconds of clarity and simplicity

that dis...

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa, 

 


I've been extra good this year

 

 

All I want is a cure for my

rare brain disease because

see Santa I was given this

disease before I left my

mothers womb so long

ago now

 

 

But life since that time has

been up and down daily like

a rocking roller coaster riding

throughout a non-stoppable

hurricane that is enough to

drive one ...

Cheers to the new beginning

Let's raise our glasses,

As we bring in the new year.

Allow the positive vibes to consume you,

Like alcohol running through your veins.

 

Kiss your partner,

Show them the love you feel.

Hug family and friends,

Wish them the best.

Let's give cheers to the new beginnings.

 

Smile,

Laugh,

Enjoy,

Every moment you have in life.

Cherish your loved ones,

Ev...
