New Year, New start. Hope everyone's having a good one! |
Starting Over Lost amidst the nothing Amidst the new year drift We try to cling to something Through last year's stars we sift Through memories, through thoughts they raise Beyond the shortened days Counting through the pearls conceived Reworking lengthened plays Acts that run 'neath stranger suns Burnt hotter, longer blazed Events unplanned, a perfect run … ran quick, confused and dazed Spoilt with the weather weaved Spoilt with the views An ambience to treasure, breve The audience you'd choose For foreign shores adventured, gold For Spanish islands seen Solo journeys ventured bold For friends and what they mean A strand of Summer, burning strong Beats branded, borrowed goods With memories of fire long Lit up through Coney Woods With effigies still burning bright, in Etherow Country Park Moovin through the turning right With nights long, getting dark To a Halloween bowled over With people missed and met Beats and lights remembered, with stages of regret Setting deep within our ruts The needle hits its groove Delving in the deeper cuts Our shadows dance and move To places we daren't dream we'd see ... nor likely will again Round people we would rarely be … yet yearn them all the same With hope, that if we get our chance We'll take it up next time On the fringes, flawed we dance Waiting in a line Of memories, of Summer spent and warmth still burning through A heat the mind remembers rent Midst Winter's frosty hue Sifting through to find our part Such stars will have their cost Drifting through a new years start … 'midst nothing, we are lost |
