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

  1. I love the carousel’s which you describe so well. A song says, “to everything (turn, turn, turn) there is a season (turn, turn, turn). And a time to every purpose, under Heaven….

      6. I’m from South Africa. There is occasional snow in the interior – on the Drakensberg Mountains. When that happens, lots of people flock there which gives you an indication of how foreign snow is for most people. Generally, we have great sunshine weather for most of the year in most parts of the country.😀

  4. My best wishes to you on your special day. This part of the world is not ‘there’ yet but I just wanted to be amongst the first to wish you the best on your special day.
    Cheers! Better, not older.

    Lovely poem to usher it in!

    Always,
    Your Sis Gwin

    1. Thanks my dear Sis. Birthdays are a good time for taking stock and next year this time, I hope to produce a good report card of the year that would have been. I’ll probably pop in on Sunday for my regular feature. Strawberry moon huh? Well may your intentions materialise!
