Merry New Year
Michael Hislop
Years of Time
Comes and goes
Rolling and falling
Pins of Time
Last day of
Another Year
And I am
Moody and Grateful
I still breathe
The Sun and Air
Reflecting
Despite better Judgment
Have I used It wisely
On Life Co.’s Balance Sheet
Older I get
Another Year
Childish innocence
The thought
It gets easy
Each Year
With wisdom
Comes more burden
Weight of way more worry
Yet still I have
Paid
Father Time
Not
Brother Death
Hard Years
For all Us
Lately
Not eased
By age nor wisdom
Yet I am celebrating
Happy in serenity
Somehow despite My Sins
My Account
Shows dividends
Not in black digits
Over red ones
But in Trees planted
Another generation’s roots
No longer young
Somehow I now am
The older one
However far from solemn and wise
And I am smiling
For when I look around
I count on more than my two hands
Friends and Lovers
Humans
Chosen
Kindred Souls
