On a gray afternoon with a broken promise of rain up to this moment… I reflect upon the year which will soon end… to be safely stored within the archives of my memory. And it is in these remaining hours left… that the angels ready the skies with balloons of prism quality… and requisition the wind to carry streamers from continent to continent to celebrate the confetti treasures of the soul… and renewal of the heart. As the silent ticking of minutes dwindles to the midnight awakening of a new morning… the angels outstretch their wings to greet the happiness of mortal thoughts left behind… and resolve to lift us closer to the heavens.
Now, how come when I want to say something glorious and inspiring like that I feel like I sound like I am lecturing someone???? Your phrasing is captivating!
We all need greater FAITH & Resolve like you that each year we can be lifted closer to our dreams and the heavens! Like all poets you have a backlog of inspired writings, some you may have even forgotten about. Glad it's getting published here.
Very Creative and filled with unique lines of imagery...especially,
viewing angels,
"...carry streamers from
continent to continent
to celebrate the confetti treasures
of the soul…"
How cool is that?!
Happy New Year, John
Love and Peace~

Happy 2008!

Bittersweet thoughts as one reads this poem, an uplifting poem to be sure. Still the past year has had its moments, good and bad and some downright awful, but the spirit survived in good stead, ready to tackle the New Year with faith and gusto . . .
Brand new beginnings in beautiful lines: well done.
(((HUGS))) and love, and Happy New Year,
Karla.
