End of the year is here
new one on the horizon
moving forward to the future
leaving 2020 behind
Ever hopeful
we reach out
for better days ahead
with waiting hearts
Optimism abounds
hoping for change
looking for light
at the end of the tunnel
New year arrives
bringing a chance for miracles
and possibly something closer
to normal
Another year come and gone
with highs and lows
we move ahead
and try to let it go

In a world of no margin
we can feel very alone
struggling against the world
ever increasingly stressful
But what if I told you
that a single word or deed
of kindness towards another
could mean survival
So many are on the precipice
of giving up hope
giving up their lives
giving in to sadness and grief
Loss of normalcy
isolation
death of life
as they knew it
One word one deed
of true kindness to another
just to show
they are not alone

Words of thanks
written, spoken, thought
for things big for things small
creating gratitude for them all
Filling your mind
with thankful things
creating a universe
that receives and then gives
Continually creating
with thankful hearts
karma of gratitude
returning greater
Breathe out gratitude
breathe in blessings
expand your universe
creating gratitude
Read my blog this week entitled Creating A Universe Of Gratitude

We fight against it
fear all phases
worry about outcomes
want to control
Resistance is futile
change continues always
ever constant
always present
We push back harder
hoping to avoid
wanting to keep
what we think we need
Universe pushes back
we struggle to stop it
afraid of what we
may become
Universe knows better
all life
all growth
needs change
Be calm
accept what is
let go of what was
become new

Time is always moving forward
except when it doesn’t
one night falling back
magic to erase one hour
Like Cinderella after the ball
carriage becomes a pumpkin
magic slowly slips away
back to something darker
When time moves again forward
still darkness comes all the earlier
as if losing sight of the sun
enveloped in the gloom
Falling back
moments unrecoverable
what did we miss
in the backward ticks

Will your ghosts rest tonight
As you sleep?
last minute of the clock
Strikes midnight
To take you into another day
Another moment
Another chance—
The cards have fated you.
Remains of the day
Scattered like sand across
Your eyes, which you will open
In the morning and rub away
The ghosts of the night.

Hunter’s moon
haunted soon
moon in blue
coming for you
Hunted by night
prey in sight
predator rising slow
searching down below
Blood moon haunts
mercurial taunts
no escape for you
hunter’s moon in blue
An hour lost
time is the cost
outrun by none
except the rising sun

Like sandpaper
everything feels rough
little bits being shaved off
under constant frustration
Grating changes
lack of control
nothing is normal
feeling untethered
Constant exposure
whether we know it
or not
to possible infection
Affecting home
work school
relationships
entire lives
Everyday more
grating and grinding
pushing towards explosions
repetitive frustration

Me, Myself and I,
Walked past the wintered
Tree
In the park with it’s departed
Leaves.
Myself though about I
And what to do with Me.
My heart, like the leaves
Fallen in decay.
I was within Myself,
All alone in the park,
With just Me.

There is beauty in letting go
a coloring of change
making way for something new
preparing to undergo transformation
flashes of brightness and being bold
everyone notices each phase of the change
until we lie dormant regathering our strength
quietly waiting for new life to begin
whispering winds of renewed hope
fall into becoming
the trees will show you the way
