2004, swept together, cautiously
so that memories won't be damaged
keep the good ones safe in a nice place
and hide the remainders meticulously
in order that they're not lost forever
all memories of 2004

2005, yet an empty sheet
the memories are still unknown
and very carefully we plan ahead
writing down all that matters
or did matter, but didn't get carried out
and sometimes we must rely on those remainders
in order to keep us going in 2005


HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL

What a promise you give
to writers...and I don't know one
that doesn't interact in Passions
who won't think that this poem
wasn't for them...

Merry Christmas, Titia!

I love your perspective, Dearest Dutchie Lady.
thank you, for this beautifully hopeful write, which I needed to read tonight.
Hugs, and happiest of holidays to you and all your friends and family, and those sheep too!

Merry Christmas, Titia.  I wonder if you've seen the following, it is a humorous gift from the Netherlands.  Ken http://www.scrolllock.nl/home.cfm

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
