New Year
Crystal clings, toast to things,
Remembered from the year.
Wine pours red, nod our head,
To loved ones we hold dear.
A kiss held softly and
Tight embrace, I love you.
The moments of kindness,
Auld lang syne, old and new.
Brace the wise man, who lifts
His staff among stars of time.
We pray to mystery of
Life, singing old lang syne.

a barn they said
Frigid cold night
A trough straw bed
Cattle in sight
A story told
Who may believe
Baby behold
Infinity

A winter Moon
Upon the crest
Shines a light
The season’s best
Of cold and ice
Is set to be
Expectancy
of winter’s eve .

I lost a long time friend last night. I woke this morning to the news. So this afternoon I went to a movie as a day out and distraction. The name of the movie was ” Mule” with Clint Eastwood, there were 2 take-away sentences. One was ” how old would you be if you did not know the year you were born?” The other, ” you cannot buy time”

I never grow tired of posting Jon Matteson’s rendition of George Bailey, “Its a wonderful life.”
