For The New Year
Instructions from an experienced "expecter"
The golden year you've waited for
Arrived and here you are
Just following the same routines
That haven't worked, so far.
The same occurred, twelve months ago,
Your expectations grand,
And all the wondrous things you sought
Sailed by, avoiding land.
The calendar has no regard
For you or what you want.
No magic comes from marking time
On life's uncertain jaunt.
The path was always up to you.
The blockade's yours to breach.
And only you can say just what
You can, or cannot reach.
Don't wait for 2026
To fulfill your desires
While standing in the ashes of
The previous year's fires.
Pick up the reins, get on the path,
Then spur yourself along.
You have the gifts, you know the way,
Rise up, and start out strong.

As much for myself as any who need to read it. Thanks for spending some time with my musings.
