A Calendar Journey

I stand waiting for hope at the edge of December

Still waiting on wishes that I made in July

Do I still believe it ? I guess, September remembers

Faithfully I remain, though I can’t tell you why

Love took a stroll, now it avoids February

Heart in my hand from that warm afternoon

Fate intervened, never wanting to marry

Cigarette run and then, vanished in June

April brought rain with a promise of flowers

I planted the seeds and waited for May

The season flew by, it seemed, in mere hours

I found myself holding a dying bouquet

Along came October throwing fate in the wind

And what luck remained from that moment in March

What I would give to revisit August

But alone here I stand fully covered in frost

January finds me with new resolution

Remembering the thankfulness that November shared

Bringing clarity and peace with a brand new solution

And twelve more months to get me prepared
