"New Years Shine"

... Thoughts about new beginnings and ultimately moving on ... understanding we only get one journey around the circle of life,  to shine on ~  

" People Let Your Light  Shine "...

The abacus of time

engraves another full circle

on the walls of eternity

Hope illuminates inspiration

as fresh possibilities evolve,

anticipating the birth

of the dawn’s first moments

The morning sun’s glow at break of day,

steals upward over the mountains,

replacing the past night’s

concluding moon’s shine

with the effervescent airglow

of a new day’s blossoming embryo

Resilience… pushing back the temptation

to cling to the memories

that are finished moments ;

struggling … mightily to be set free

Knowing …without a single thread of doubt

there is no other way to go forward

but to find the strength

like a wounded bird flying free

Enabling … Freedom in presence ;

severing the tie that binds

the final traces of yesterday

that once stubbornly lingered

The diamond in the rough,

that could no longer shine,

glistens with a multifaceted burnish ~

A single ray of hope

illuminates essence

with bright incandescent soul shine …
