m-emories of the year past
o-n a day of new beginnings
n-odding head off to silent sleep
t-humbs congealed within the wintry chill
h-ours went by to the new year

o-ut the sheets
f-allen to the side

j-ust awaken from wintry slumber
a- crowd of children ran across streets
n-eighbors greet each other of the new day
u-nder the icicle drenched oak branches
a- cardinal chirped its lonesome song
r-elishing the piercingly fresh air
y-esterday's death, today's first breath

I've watched the rain drops
resulting in a river
felt the rhythm falling
shook in its thunder

then the quiet steadiness
peaceful persistence
just like you come around
I always remember !

all of the rainy seasons
the fullness descending
you fall like rain
softly on me

show me now the storm
shake me once again
share the thunder
roll like a river.

I want to thank you
My dear friend... Yes
It's been a while... Let's
Keep past things, water under
The Bridge here and now...
It Was extremely nice to
Talk with you again...
Especially tonight, When I
Really needed a friend...
It turned out not to be
A ruined New Years Eve
Thanks to you, My dear
Friend... I hate to repeat
Myself, Like I sometimes do
But one more time I want
To Thank you & Wish
Your Loved Ones & For
You Too,  The Very Best
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Been walking in shadows for as long all my life
darkness lingering the lack of light
I can't remember the last time I felt free
Forever enslaved by the rules of society

In the cold, dark
        of January,
         I remembered
              you
        the most.
  As the chill
      snapped bones
              like branches,
     as the afternoons
   bathed themselves
in gray,
     as the birds
and the backs
      shook,
so did my lips
   around your name.
I'm so happy
     January is almost
over now.

Where do you run
From yourself?
To day-dreams ? to temporary highs?
To the never-ending motions of living?
Where do you run
When surrounded by mirror paned high walls?
For at every turn you run into yourself.
All that is left is something
With no end, no beginning,
Just the unrelenting turn of wheels.
