New Years Poem

A new year approaches
with sparkles of hope in its eyes,
like fireworks arrayed in a tangle of freedom,
of joy and regret and newness.

A day when the past is too clear,
but the future- a little less hazy
and the two collide in happy chaos
at a countdown of ten to one.

We smile and parade about,
embracing the champagne of our future
and wishing upon the glamour of hope
for a new and prosperous year.

â??Together forever!â??, we cheer
savoring the last minute of a dream
and walk side by side gallantly
into the abnormality of tomorrow.
