A New Year

A prism stains the sands of time

Where rainbows fear to go

While shining light on better days

Forgiveness starts to show

A new beginning starts to rise 

To bury past mistakes

As one year passes in the night

A new one always wakes

Looking back while moving on

We see where we have been

We can't undo what we have done

But we're sorry for our sin

One day older but none the wiser

We cross the great unknown

We take the path that fate demands

To see what life has sown

A brand new world of hopes and dreams

Will meet the coming dawn

And one more year will start anew

For another has come and gone

Love this Whisk.. the beautiful rhythm and rhyme, the depth of your words... I feel the loss and renewal. This piece begins a bit solemn and ends with a moment of anticipated bliss. I love that positive ending. Wonderful work!

This is really beautiful and it makes me nostalgic for years gone by and a little anxious about what a new year will bring, stanza four resonates mostly with me, what a wonderful poem you have penned :)
