A new year and a new outlook on life. I find it interesting how the turning over of another year often prompts us to turn over a new leaf as well. Sometimes we just need to dump the garbage, no matter how attached we have become to it, in order to put our life back on a forward motion. Great job on this, Ron.
Take care,

The blessings of the "morning after's" we have the ability to move forward and make changes to our liking. It's best not to look back if the situation wasn't to nice. I enjoyed this. Have a blessed New Year.
the last line, "So I am starting over", underscores the tenacity of the human spirit Ron -- enduring and ever optimistic regardless of what we are dealt -- there is lot of sound philosophy for living life every day in your write -- thanks for sharing -- may peace, love and joy follow any path you take -- JMW
Your poem evokes the truth about our world: it's "like a dream" in that it is constantly changing and what we feel is so sure can be gone in a heart beat - the "nature" of this world. The good news: we can use our minds to re-shape it as we please with enough will and knowledge.
A poem with a cryptic personal meaning but a universal experience, I'd say. Best to your efforts in '09 - michael

Really enjoyed. When something happens to someone we love, it really does leave an "aftertaste."

even when faced with a woeful reality!
This is very inspiring and "volatile" - it is a poem moving on to the next phase. That makes it hopeful...and beautiful.
Starting over too,
Cynthia
