hard to stay awake.
bleary eyes and sing-song laughter.
curled up on the couch with the tv playing but
my head is playing even louder
replaying memories,
things,
2016 in a whirlwind
flashing through my mind
as my lips move to mouth
the words to the songs on the radio.
so many resolutions…
i twist my hair about my thumb
along with my thoughts.
i can’t stop thinking.
heart pounding.
watching family laugh and play games and
blossom new memories right now.
fireworks erupting out the window.
the sky alit with showering sparks
showering dreams
showering moments.
i close my eyes against the 2016
whirlwind
and open them to
2017,
the new year.
i don’t know
what’s in store.
i don’t know
what’s behind this door.
but i do know
my God is in control
so i can let go and embrace
the now, not the tomorrow
and the who, not the when.
i can embrace
2017 with
j o y .
God bless you! Happy New Year! ❤
