Another year

by Chevvy, posted in Poetry

The carousel has turned

Full circle once more

The scenery has changed

The flowers now rearranged

Some petals have scattered

Lost carelessly in the  wind

But here is another season

To sow and harvest again

Like fine wine, it was a very good year

But the very best, can cost you dear

So I’m searching new favorite blends

Need to catch up on the  latest trends

Time has come to recant and decant

So I raise my glass to another great year

I can smell the fresh fragrance in the air

I feel the breeze as it blows through my hair

And if I should stumble in the midst of it all

I believe that you’ll be there to break my fall

Don’t give up

I cannot take your pain

Since I would be a thief

To take what isn’t mine

You do not need my crime

I cannot hear your groans

In midnight’s silent breaths

That grow loud in your head

As Sleep stands you up again

I cannot taste the last drops

Of the bottle, your sole mate

Though I wish I could know

What your thirst feels like

I cannot stop your crying

Or know the river’s source

But as you climb the mountain

And it starts to get steeper…

Know  that it will descend

When you get to the other side
