IT IS YOUR YEAR

is this going to be your year?
why wouldn't it be...?


is it your year?
into the future to see....


no fear to step forward to run with the wind,
to laugh with gusto any challenge befriend.
trepidation at times can be wise, not a hindrance to growth,
on New Years eve more courageous the oath.

new paths in the future, diligently greater prosperity be sought,
at times to stay still, listen... good advice in that stillness, be caught.
company kept, those stars in the sky
that know to make one further up the ladder of success, to fly.
hearts more open, patience... empathy for those left behind,
for, sometimes, life knows not to be kind.
difference question, judgement reserve,
for, wise be those that know each others right to freedoms preserve.
though small one may be, a mere dot in all that is,
every action, every word spoken, a ripple effect on the universe a kiss.
thus, make sure that kiss be endearing and caring
in that soft peck a sincere sharing.
never forget u are one of a kind
at this time of year to look back and rewind,
with gentleness smile at all u have been
and know.....u are a star...brighter u will shine....the best has yet to come

and

be seen.



Blessed 2025.

Addendum...I wrote this a long time ago...and applies for time eternal.

TAKE HEED

Do take no heed of those whose dreams know not to be saucy
shackled be their waking hours
bullied into a confined space of no release from daily challenges.

they know to bark as they wake and bark hoarse as they go to sleep.

a kind word
an interest shown
alien to their daily routine.

they be so lost among the strife to keep up with wallets fat with credit.

forgetting...

that heart that beats within their chest....those tears that want to well and spill over.

yet.

dare not...for it be considered a weakness.

they forget, until they witness
a hug
a moment shared...
where two people know to share in a glance
know to share in a smile
know to be with each other in silence.

technology.

a robotic state of mind...challenging us to be faster, smaller, precise, metallic, unsocial
inhuman.

but let go,
let go to a kiss,
let go to a moment tender, touching, weeping.

let go to YELLING at the top of your lungs!

let go to a lover, even for an instant.

...and when the world rudely nudges itself back into your space with the reality of life itself
then smile broad, for u have dared and taken heed

of simply being human.

RB.

Stretna Nova Godina!

s Novym Godom!

Gooooood morning!


To all who celebrated last night , 13th January and woke to a year new honoring the Gregorian Calendar....

May this year be a fruitful, blessed, selfishly indulgent yet, giving year

May your coffers never run dry nor your understanding of humanness and humaneness ever falter.

Never be shy to be caring, empathetic and sympathetic to those who may not be blessed as abundantly as you.

Take as much as you can and, with the other hand give, even more.

May you be protected and guided in all you put your mind and action to.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL who are celebrating as is my household.
