A time
Of refreshing
Has come, wash off that
Weariness, shake away worry
And soar

It’s A New Year!
Path to the future
Is not found
Walking in the past

Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be
Thinking of what life was then
Looking back at where I’ve been
Mulling over where I was when
Hides the future from me
Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be

Tarry Time
New Year days in flight,
Flying away like fall leaves.
What is your vision?
Are your dreams anchored down,
To withstand the winds of time?
Tanka
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry Habakkuk 2:2-3

Looking for a change?
It all begins with with you
Renewing your mind.
It takes a decision
In order for things to change.

Past-Present-Future
Life
Is short
Waste not.
Time is precious
Record memories.
Capture each moment
But dont dwell there, move on.
Fixate your mind on the future.
Wake every morning and proclaim:
“The Past has no Present in my Future”
Etheree
Thanks to my daughter, Laura, for the last line which inspired me to write this poem.
Yawn…
Tonight,
Set clocks ahead.
Let us save daylight,
And let us lose a hour of sleep.
Tonight,
It is that time if the year again,
That we must “Spring Forward”!
At least clockwise…
So tired!

Repetition
Don’t quit
Keep looking up
Though the path is long and hard
Stay focused on climbing higher
Don’t quit
Stay focused on climbing higher
Though the path is long and hard
Keep looking up
Don’t quit

Doubts
To win
Don’t dwell with doubts
Doubts are just traitors
They promote fear, cause loss
In life
They keep attempts from happening
Quench good and create losers
Do not listen
To them
Butterfly Cinquain
(Inspired by Shakespeare)
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
-William Shakespeare
