Resolution

Here is my

New Year’s resolution

I promise myself

I will have

Peace love affection

Respect kindness compassion

Wit sarcasm frivolity

With whomever I

Ever do encounter

And that will

Bring us joy

And will bring

Us forever closer

And never apart

2023

I decided to leave

Much of what remained

Of my past in

2022 I just didn’t

Or was unwilling to

You know drag those

Bags ahead with me

Because here’s the thing

Those who gave me

The bags which I

Continue to carry on

Aren’t here to help

My back is sore

IObstacle

Have you ever thought

That maybe just maybe

You were placed in

Someone else’s path not

To find your happiness

But for them to

Find theirs not in

You but past you

What if we stopped

Looking for what we

Want and rather be

What the other needs

So that they can

Be their best self

It’s really very interesting

How small things are

When you accept them

The tinier you feel

The smaller the world

Be not your surroundings

They hold you within

Your mind is marvelous

Filled with many places

When you are small

Let your mind wander

And then when free

Explore only those things

That your mind imagined

SeaMonsters

And once again

I set sail

Alone in my

Hearts little boat

But this time

I will avoid

The stormy seas

And rather paddle

About on the

Pond of experience

Finally now understanding

That even mermaids

Are sea monsters
