Icy, foggy screen
Hiding wintertime’s next move—
Holding nature’s cards
Overnight snowfall
Friendly, gentle flakes falling—
Morning’s traffic slows
Lofty mountain peak
Let it snow, let it snow more—
Skiers celebrate

Waiting in life’s shadows, another year
Thinking conscious thoughts, ready to embrace
Setting aside more time for daydreaming
Leading to tomorrow’s energized space
Allowing positivity to shine
Sowing today’s seeds, filled with future hope
Reaping lasting harvest of inner peace
Looking ahead through New Year’s vivid scope
Finding humor’s lessons in life’s darkness
Focusing on single tasks, without more
Filling each day with heartfelt gifts of joy
Witnessing blessed year, coming ashore
Creating reservoirs of lasting light
Passing each on to others taking flight

Pause now, stop to think
Look at your actions
Before more ships sink
Ecosystems fail
Fragile planet cries
Look at your actions
Before more dark skies
Poverty and crime
Stealing life’s spirit
Look at your actions
Before more fear it
Corruption’s headlines
Does anyone speak truth?
Look at your actions
Before more untruth
Clouds of war breathing
Death ravages world
Look at your actions
Before more unfurled
