for many it will start resolute
back straight and chin out
in the mirror of fresh hopes
and a spritz of newly gifted
perfume or aftershave
for a few it will begin
a changed decade
an elevator ride to a new floor
or a stair climb with lighter
more practical shoes
well at least Happy New Year!
Is our shared moment
to give each other permission
to feather up and try new wings
and who knows
who will earn a closer look
of the pastels of mountains
at dawn
