A Year Brand New
A year approaches, this one brand new
So eager to start
There is not much time to review
We first find ourselves sunk at the bottom of the ocean
Dejected, missing the presence of any uplifting emotions
Not to worry, here we discover that our life is a magnificent work of art
Clearly flawed, yet still so full of heart
In our constant race toward perfection, we subject ourselves to pain
It is difficult to accept that
Failure is bound to happen, over and over again
We were never meant to be infallible
Unnaturally sparkling, unblemished
We remind ourselves that rough diamonds can also be beautiful
---
Being sensitive, we often fully felt the shift between seasons
Transitions from old to new
Changes happening for almost no reason
And it was so easy to feel defeated
Perhaps from recounting a last visit, mourning a stranger, or attempting to face our demons
Thankfully,
We found the quiet moments
Looked out for the moon's presence, so lovely
Finally,
We chose to free ourselves from the restriction of fear
It was time to embrace, to accept, the glowing promise of another new year
