Happy New Year
The slate wiped clean,
The year is shiny-new,
And friends are held close....
A shelter in the face of the unknown,
Lighting the way.
The passed year,
Full of lessons learned
And dreams encountered,
Has revealed new paths to follow.
I go willingly,
My heart wide open
To the teachings of a new year.
Bless me me for I have sinned,
And I plan on doing it again!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
