This Moment Now

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)
