the metal teeth
of this year's counting,
gnash and groan,
grating slowly through...
the final hours
before, their midnight demise.
the world takes one
last look,
one more reprise....
like the overbearing actor,
one more accolade,
one more encore,
dear friends, hold me in
your heart.... once more
before i am "resting" forever
old and weary,
the day stumbles
to his wake
of a billion chemical fireflies
dancing in the night
as the adoring public sighs
and rockets blast with
daring might.
people sing refrains of
old lang syne,
a blurting, blurring drunken delight..
a bachanal of intimate sharing of iresolute promises that are,
sealed with a ***** kiss
then... old man is gone...
and in his place
a fresh hopeful face
begins tick-ticking along...
happy new year to you all
I am ensconced in airconditioned heaven
32 storeys up looking
out over the Sydney Harbour Bridge....and will be here
tonight to watch the amazing fireworks show...
(family included) prime..
cost a packet....but it is another notch off the bucket
list...
Will more than likely,
be way too drunk to write tonite...
so all my friends and readers
weehee away we go...
new year...wishes for
inspiration and courage...
to write with open hearts
and read with open minds..
cheers beers
to one an all!!!!
