Happy 2014

Looking forward
Looking back
That's where all of us
are at

We want the old year
to be done
We want the new year
filled with fun

We want success and
happiness
We want prosperity
We want love

We want it all
but want's not enough
Sometimes we have to
experience
what seems too rough.

Resolutions won't
change our ways
No matter what
our conscious says

Set a goal
and work it out
That's what life
is all about

Blank days
like a blank page
Here's the chance
to change our ways

Blank days
like a blank page
Grab a pen
Let's play

The New Year

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
The path is completely new
Do with it the best
that you are able to do

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
This is not familiar ground
The voices of negativity
cannot utter a sound

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
Reach out and take your chance
Allow yourself the opportunity
For your mind and soul to advance

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
Unique and original too
What you choose to do
is completely up to you


Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
A path that's completely new
Do with it the best
that you are able to do

Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne or
Old Long Since
Days Gone By
It's never made sense
The Poem or song
means New Year's Eve
Time to remember
Time to reflect
Traditions of the
 last night of the year
Auld Lang Syne
the time is here.

Dionysus God of Wine
Spirit of fertility
Symbol of rebirth
Lovely Pagan ritual
celebrated all over Earth.

Janus God of Time
transitions and beginnings
Allows you to look forward
Allows you to look back
Time to make new plans
Time to start anew.
The last day of the year.
A better year is up to you.

Resolutions and goals
our prosperity unfolds.
Can't wait to discover
what the new year will hold.

Epiphany

Crossing the globe
on a journey far
A quest to reach a shining star

The road is rough
is long, is tough

You think of turning back
Seek the courage you lack
Go forward on your path

At trials and tribulations
doubts and insecurities
 simply laugh


The road is rough
is long, is tough

You must travel far
It's worth the trip

"I'm giving up"
Should never 
enter your thoughts 
or cross your lips


The road is rough
is long, is tough


As if by magic
the star appears

An Epiphany
The Epiphany
Your Epiphany
is here.

New Year's Haiku II



Time for reflection.
Life takes on new direction.
Welcome the new year.


Take a step forward.
Be blind to happenings past.
Make changes that last.


Hope springs eternal
New Year allows for changes.
Open up your heart.

New Year's Haiku I


The New Year Begins
Time to evaluate friends
Lovers, hopes and dreams.



Janus looks both ways.
Time to reflect on the past
Embrace the future.



Baby New Year's here.
Step forward to brighter days.
Embrace better ways.

Reflection and Redirection

Reflection and Redirection
It's time to begin again
Start off on the right foot
Try to do it well

Reflection and Redirection
Focus and don't stray
Try your best and the rest will follow
Only time will tell.

Reflection and Redirection
leave the past behind
The power's in your mind
On the old you must not dwell.

Reflection and Redirection
The new year is here
Greet it with hope and good cheer
All adversity you will quell.

Looking forward
Looking back
It's all in your hands.

Looking forward
Looking back
Time to start anew.

Looking forward
Looking back
A better year is up to you.

Baby New Year

Spirit of fertility
Symbol of rebirth
Lovely Pagan ritual
celebrated all over Earth.

 A tiny little baby in basket
back in the day.
Depicted  Dionysus God of Wine.

A Baby reborn
life starts anew
A brand new year is welcomed here.

Over the centuries
the basket disappeared
Over the centuries the meaning's not as clear

Little diapered baby running round til he gets old
then a little old man is there for us to behold
A new year reborn
Bells, whistles and horns
Welcome baby New Year
We're oh so glad you're here.
