Tick tock countdown…ten, nine, eight…
Another year waits at the gate
As last year’s memories start to fade
And new beginning plans are made
Let’s reconcile all regrets
And make our peace with goals not met
The slate is clean to pen anew
Our greatest hopes for dreams come true
Alas, before the clock ticks one
Take a breath what’s done is done
A moment’s pause is all we need
To tap into eternity
With no beginning and no end
It truly comes to this my friend
Forget your plans and silly lists
Embrace the bliss of mindfulness!

Kat, I am one of your followers. I find your poetry to have great content, to be stimulating, and not to vague. Count me in for the new year. You have a great year.

Best wishes in 2016 to you as well Catherine. I am afraid I squeeze time to write whenever I can and fortunately for me, all my children are grown so. I do admit though that my most prolific time to write is in the middle of the night. Not good for my need for sleep, but perhaps the only time things are quite enough for me to hear the words rattling around in my head! I am hoping to find more balance in 2016…and sleep! 🙂
