We left aside our devices,

to realize the end of another year,

a new beginning, a sadness prevails,

we think about love we contemplate loss.

 

It is much like an early morning sunrise,

when we can experience the beauty of light,

the horizon takes shape, the colors vivid,

as in sun’s energy, we form new chapters

 

I once wondered alone in a dark space,

always comforted by the silent quiet

of the world outside of my paneled room,

I would have traded the world for time.

 

And yet today we remark on their lives,

these people of cameras, and perpetual stage,

those that did entertain us have departed

and we’ll begin to create a newer list again.

 

I will reign in the sunrise, peace, as the beauty of today,

will make allowance a nostalgic trip toward symbolism
