Another Auld Lang Syne


Haviland Pond, Ludlow, MA Image by author.













One year ceases, another dawns…
we move forward with certain givens:
that love will find some while abandoning others,
that new life will arrive
while others move on—
woven onto the thread of infinity;
death as imminent as birth
for we have yet to uncover
the secrets of immortality.

We stand on the cusp of renewal—
as days grow longer, we embrace their light
searching for our balance;
thwarting off indignity so often in disguise,
holding out for certain truth 
while sorting through the lies.

Another year of endless possibilities
  looms before us

    ...shall we begin?
