2011

365 reasons and rhymes held dear

I bid goodbye to you, my favourite year

Love, labour and paradise, all so near

up and down and all around

I tasted some life,

a lasting reason for cheer

Some thoughts and some reservations

you presented me with my aspirations

Some fulfilled promises and some unrequited fears,

dancing to life's dynamic beats

now with a memory held dear 

Some Shakespearean proses and a bit of King Lear,

the never ending conversations and mentations

I longed to hear and feel...

You brought me day and then some light
even when it rained, the sun sparkled bright

Wiser and patient at the cusp of forthcoming delights

cautious not to fumble the saucerful of dreams,

wanting to relive the journey that began

even as I wait for the tide to rise at the seams

To a journey that shall forever unfold

life and times of a scriber digging for gold

the old gives way to the new

as I seek 365 more memories

With a mouthful of sky and a heart burning bright

my best stories I keep for twilight...
