An Exceptional Year

source

Midnight came

Devoid of pomp

And circumstance,

Of fireworks

And joyous voices,

And I released a

Sigh….

It was as though

I had finished

A good book and

I was content

With the end

And that it had

Ended.

The new year

Had begun and

The old year

Had already started

To fade from my

Memory.

The new year

Has so much

Potential, so much

Opportunities ready

To be grabbed and

Taken advantage of.

So I toss aside

The fears, the sadness,

The confusion, the frustrations

Of the dead year

And walk confidently

Into the future

Along the path

I created.

This is going to be

An exceptional year.
