a New Year feels like a new race
fresh starting line ahead
finish line just behind
so we line up and wait
for January 1st to fire the gun and
off we go in a slow jog
on that cross-country road
wishing and praying that with this
year’s terrain we’ll better maneuver
the watery potholes and jagged rocks
and find ourselves in an improved
place at year’s end
hopefully more than a weak stone’s
throw from where last year ended
how fortunate and well run
are those who find themselves
in a place they don’t recognize
slightly out of breath from
the fresh view and the realization
an uncommon miracle came true
