Written by T. Davis

Tonight a misty halo surrounds the moon
Highlighting a surreal landscape so clearly
The New Year tumbling down on me
From this misty moon and starlit night
I can almost see my way
Into the newborn year’s morning light
Memories threading through
These star strewn skies

And on this cold night
My frosted breath
Telling me I am living
Stepping into this new day
Struggling forward
Aging with each day
Stiffening these bones

Never tiring of a new sunrise
Nor when the day
Starts drifting into night
Bringing up a new moon
Illuminating the horizons

The night sky thick with stars
Always strikes me with awe
While whittling away at my life
Remembering other New Year eve’s passing
With this aging misty moon
