No Poetry, No Regret; No fear! (Day 30)

Another year has gone by  
and with it so many changes.  
 
A month of poetry a piece of it,  
and with the end  
so many seem to turn to wistfulness  
turning their theme to elegiac.  
 
Yet it may be easy to choose melancholy  
to turn back and watch the setting sunlight,  
but do not despair  
do not go gently into silence  
closing the chapter on creation  
as you close your creative notebook;  
the story moves on yet.  
 
It is not over,  
a new day rises, a new era,  
and with it new and familiar opportunities.  
 
Whatever comes through the doors of tomorrow  
will be faced with experience;  
armoured in inspiration  
another treasure to add to the inventory,  
yet more words to absorb into your aura.  
 
The plans for the future  
lay upon the foundations of the past  
and positioned by the present  
a towering edifice  
ever expanding and redesigning.  
 
The path of the word goes ever on.
