I prepare for months to come
'Till I have nothing left;
Christmas dawns and yawns too quick
And I am then bereft.

Excitement turns to fatigue
And riches into rags;
I feel adrift, lost, confused
Among empty gift-bags.

The new year looms just ahead,
Uncertainty too sheer,
I know not what to expect.
Yet, I do flood with fear.

I can't explain this queer dread,
Nor can I shake it off.
As if it were some winged pest,
I am the light to moth.

Ah well, it seems I must wait
To see what will come next.
Instead of hexed, I will pray
2004 be blessed!

This morning there’s a calm I can’t explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on
