Happy New Year
Happy New year!
What is happy to you?
Fireworks, late night or beer?
New equals happy?
Or the clean slate?
Or the blank page?
Or the new year, a new opportunity?
The speculation of what’s on the chart?
An unknown path?
What might happen?
Do you have a new weapon?
What will change?
How will you claim a new tomorrow?
Would you breathe differently?
Would you not resist change
And welcome the new?
What are you saying?
When you say ‘Happy New Year’
to your own mind and self?
Will you focus on
your sleep cycle and health?
What will fill the hole in your soul?
What is expected, what is the goal?
Was the first morning of the new year
a reflection of what’s coming?
Or merely a distraction?
Another mundane activity
that will continue year after year?
Don’t write resolutions
and make fake promises
You know what you have been through
Show me what is happy and new to you!
