The misting rain is dismal and gray
But I don’t mind it being that way
As the ending of another year.

I watch the beginning twilight
As the dark dissolves into light
Marking the ending is near.

What has marked these miles
Greater than a lack of smiles
As a tribute to coming fears.

It won’t be for lack of gold
Or continued winter cold
It will be the pool of tears.

There has always been a lack of touch
Something that I still miss too much.

A lack of touch, a year that ends,
A smile's reward in words to friends.
Though not the touch that one can feel
It's thoughts to hold, (though not ideal).

Remembering the good and bad,
The new to come, to lessen sad
To spirit lift, if only words
To feed the need (you're not unheard).

Wishing you a Happy and Safe New Year

I was going to try to have some lovely, poetic response - but your poem and M's reply...well, what left is there to be said. Your ache in this stretches through time, and is felt here.

The things which cause us to be sad about seems to visit us more often than the happiness guru. Nice work.

Thank you Nakdthoughts
for the beautiful poetic response,
Your sweet talent always seem to come through in your words

Thank you Nicole,
I appreciate the thoughts and the words

Thank you JerryPat
Sadness is my friend and is always near by

Thank you Jweley
We can only hope that there will be good times for all of us ahead
But I fear that it might not be the case
(Which is why they call me gloom)
