January 1st,
a crescent moon
The past crossed over,
the future looms
A New Year dawns,
as daylight breaks
With wishes fresh,
new oaths to take
Feeling lighter,
old burdens gone
New lyrics written,
a familiar song
The year to bring,
what fates allow
As wonder ages,
—in this moment now
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
