Twenty twenty-one,
I salute you
Without a gun…
No fanfare, good riddance
or clingy good-byes…
I simply light a candle
And close my eyes-
Quietly singing lullabies
To a tender-me,
Who has been through
A quiet burning of
What I thought I knew.
Pulling the card
I worked hard to avoid,
Staring deeply into,
“The Great Void.”
Sitting alone
Making friends with fear,
Yes, I salute you,
It’s been quite a year!
The lessons I’ve learned-
Wouldn’t wish or trade them…
For Peace I have found in
This quiet life-
Sitting, laying,
Filleted out on the floor,
I just so happened to
Discover a door,
A portal to a place,
Where Love resides.
Transcending time and space-
A connection I didn’t know I knew,
So sweet!
It makes the load,
Less heavy
And
Darkness so bright,
So, I will celebrate tonight,
With some candles and incense
And a quiet prayer-
Looking forward to the
New Year,
As my soul sings,
Moving forward
Growing wings…
