The golden roman shaped shield
like a disc above glinting
Like a polished coin Punching the

Sky waking it up. The Feathered
snipered hungry cadaver eyes circling
Watching as I look above. crys of

Starvation. Below the scorching
Powdered biscuit Devils sauna pit

The air as dry as dust
My body already claimed
signed my soul over

To hell and to gold sprinkled dust

Kiss all your friends
Give names to the inanimate
I’m telling you when the weeds start growing from your head again
You’ll remember your vow to never regret it

You stand before me in your garden, digging dirt to lay your tulip seeds beneath
Prancing around me as you scatter them fruitlessly
I almost want to flee
Until I watch as you hurdle to the ground rolling in the fresh soil
Giggling like the child you wish you could have been
I decide to join you

Kiss all your friends
Give names to the inanimate
I’m telling you when the weeds start growing from your head again
You’ll remember your vow to never regret it

You stand before me in your garden, digging dirt to lay your tulip seeds beneath
Prancing around me as you scatter them fruitlessly
I almost want to flee
Until I watch as you hurdle to the ground rolling in the fresh soil
Giggling like the child you wish you could have been
I decide to join you

The golden roman shaped shield
like a disc above glinting
Like a polished coin Punching the

Sky waking it up. The Feathered
snipered hungry cadaver eyes circling
Watching as I look above. crys of

Starvation. Below the scorching
Powdered Devils sauna

The air as dry as dust
My body already claimed
Like I signed my soul over

To hell and to gold dust

Electric blue hue flash of
Gravity and a growl of the
Almighty bellow follows

The electric fluff above
Winks rapidly while the
Heaven starts crying
Covering the black
Battled Night sky

In the vast space of self's sacred earth,
Where words dine, ministering meaning,
Burning within, a flame of limitless rebirth,
"My Power" sings, a bold decree.

Through valleys low, where shadows linger,
Strength grows strong, a beacon in the night,
Each trial faced, a chance to triumph,
With radiant self-love, a steadfast light.

It has been a roller-coaster ride
This Slip stream mounted slide
Oft' times we must partake and abide

Out with the olden days
Let us come out of the haze
with a well turned phrase

On the appointed hour raise
your voices and glasses in praise
As we promise new ways in coming days

Let there be lilting mirth
raise your voices high
on the eve of our rebirth!

I fulfill my heart with a sense of gratitude
that life teaches me the meaning of sharing
Live and strike for the best that I can be
to learn and grow with a better sense
receive the wisdom and knowledge
look beyond the past with valuable lessons
Embrace with the precious moments
to make 2024 a special new fresh start off
A spectacular and remarkable one
like the sparkling champagne
that brings a sweet wine taste
spread the seed of love and joy
Count every second is a blessing to ALL

Crimson sunlight, through windows at six
Inspires ideas, please let my future be bright
Music on; showered; dressed, and news channel one
No excessive spate: a sprightly daily fix
The hope to cope, with life is helped
By music and people; food, daydreams and wine
Birds when they sing: no need for a clock
Planning a meal – fried duck in a wok
Soup of the day, on the day I get paid
Reading, writing, illustrious plans to be made
Looking up at the sky, awaiting the stars
I’m thankful for life, knowing I’ll die
