a new year
rising from wild seas
a few stars
filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne

a new year
appears on my calendar
worn days refurbished
rising from wild seas
I look to hope
to bring me freedom
a few stars
write their exclamations
across the moon

filling
idle hours
with memories
the glass with candlelight
warms shadows
I’m afraid to enter
champagne
and a toast to forgetting
walks me away from pain
