In the New Year
There are no extra days to spare
Each precious and rare
Do not let one pass
In the dark shadow
Of your longing
For what is not
Find the source of your joy
Feed it like
The fire in the hearth
Select each log
Lay it carefully
The flame will catch
Your joy will warm
And brighten every heart
Note: Perhaps this is my New Years’ resolution. I want to remember to be grateful for each day, and not waste a single one.
