new year
Quintessence
Universally recognized
Here it is
This new moment
This new year
Tolling bells
Universally recognized
Chime the old out
Ring in the new
Some are sad
Some are glad
Universally recognized
Time stopping for none
Moments
Occasions
Lifetimes
All universally recognized
Irreplaceably given
Recklessly squandered
Unforgivably forgotten
Until each last
Moment
Person
Lifetime
Era and Age
If so recognized
Then what baloney
To latently lament
To wantonly procrastinate
Hitch the saddle
Reve the engine
Flap your wings
Leave the dust to settle
Set no formula
Prove no hypothesis
Cut the concepts
Feel the lifestream surge
Love; power second to none
Kindness; giver above all
Peace; love and kindness paired
Recognize this
Quintessence
And then there can be
Universal peace
New
Is this what’s new for you?
A new year?
A new month?
A new day?
Well I have news for you!
What’s new is much more frequent
It’s the freshest newest thing there is!
It’s here and then here again
And before it’s gone
Its almost here again!
‘What?!’ you ask
It’s breath!!
There!
And there!
And there again!
See?
New every time
Can’t stop it even if you try!!”
“Why is it new?” You ask
Because it brings a new moment
A new opportunity
Never a repeat.
Just like a first kiss
The morning sunrise
A child’s first step
Don’t wait for the occasion
Don’t want for a change
Inherent in each breath
Is the unseen truth,
Each one precious
Each one only for you….
That’s what’s new!
So enjoy your New Year
Your new month
Your new day
Your new moment
The one that comes
With each New Breath…
