the blasts outside my window sing,
a new year comes on silent wing,
a fiery song for the world to share,
  I know not now,
  I stop and stare,

for peace can only melt my heart,
the distance a cause--we need not part,

so look,

so linger,

soak it up.

                                 the sea breathes out,
                      and it breathes in

pounding the sand,
and leaving it in a gentle way.


but every day the world anew,
again
