Resolution

I have learned something this year. well actually this past year. If you wish to remain happy, or if you want to become happy, don't think about what could be, what was, what is no more, the past. You must be thankful for what you have. In the last year I have caught my self dwelling far far too much in the past, when what I should have been doing was thinking of what lies ahead. Of the promising future. So for this new year, I'm going to try to remain in one place, in the now.

Whizzing lights
buzzing sounds
Whirls around,
and through me

I start drifting
far away
to when what was is,
and when what is,
is not yet

I see all sorts of wonderful things
reliving the times of yester-year

I see time of joy
of time with friends
where I feel accepted

I see time of closeness
of times with just me and one other
where I feel loved

I see all sorts of wonderful things
reliving the times of yester-year

I must remember though
that I do not live in yester-year
I live in the now
and it is just as great.
