I can do this

Okay
I can do this
I'm rusty
but I remember
I can put out words
into a line
make them tell a
tale in rhyme

I can express an idea
loud and clear
I can share an emotion
for all to hear

I can do this
I know how
I'm a bit rusty
but I'm here now

Slowly but surely
It's coming back to me
The creative individually
that I used to be
is back from hiatus
ready to explore
ready to explode
ready for more

Memorial Day

Today we honor you.

Today we say Thank You.

Today we wish you were here.

Today we remember our tears.

Today we recall your sacrifice.

Today we value our lives.

Today, Memorial day,

Today we all are family.

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.

Coming Back

They keep coming back.
I don't ask
and yet here they are.
Where were they
when I was there?
As I recall
they chose not to care.

Walks down memory lane
relive the happiness
not the pain.
But don't fall for
the pretty path,
The road not taken
is the one that lasts.

They keep coming back.
did I leave a beacon on?
Once you're gone
that's where you belong.
A door was closed
but a window's been opened.
The road not taken
Is the one I have chosen.
