Twenty, Twenty Four

The Year of the Dragon

By J. S. WadePublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Rich memories kept, from woes I will run.

Ashes to dust, I relinquish the past.

Twenty, twenty four a new life begun.

🐲

Tethered, manacled, my heart rendered numb.

Not one or two, numberless years amassed.

Rich memories kept, from woes I will run.

🐲

New dreams, bright hopes, dawn with the rising sun,

embracing new life, each breath unsurpassed.

Twenty, twenty four. A new life begun.

🐲

By bread alone and emotional crumbs,

my world is dying, entombed, and wormcast.

Rich memories kept, from woes I will run.

🐲

L’Chaim, to life, engage and become

completely transformed for troubles have passed.

Twenty, twenty four. A new life begun.

🐲

Resolved, this Year the Dragon will come.

A chance to seize life, courageous and jazzed.

Rich memories kept, from woes I will run.

Twenty, twenty four. A new life begun.
