On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes

If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate

Every hour we are someone Different, Every day something new Learned, Death is just another

Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.

What if, The simple things In life, were the Most important Events.

My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,

The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down

The flesh withers as we age But our inner spirit Remains the same. And when the body dies The spirit breaks free

In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments

Driving through the small towns of America, children of all colors playing in the streets, some with tattered clothes

Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars

Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,

Lately, a sadness pervades, I mourn for youth, perhaps passion of younger days. With age, some of that passion

There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
