    Splendid Year

    Movable joints, as if freshly greased.
    My elbows and knees will move easily while I watch Sunsets in the East.
    Silver shafts peak through honey brown, as if touched by a wand.
    My hair will be healthy and shine even if I once was blonde.
    Adrenaline shifts down to lower gears, even grinding to a halt.
    My anxiety will melt away as I drink a strawberry malt.
    Numbers steadily climb as they reach heights never dreamt of.
    My bank account balance will stay full like the belly of a content dove.
    Floating high into the clouds, light as a feather.
    My heart will pitter patter as I read countless love letters.
    Gravity bends light, and one can see for miles from atop the tallest mountain.
    My pride will exude for my child from every cell as if it’s a perpetual fountain.
    Spears, bullets and missiles soar through the atmosphere yet are deflected.
    My armor will hold steady, and my inner peace will be protected.
    Wood, stone, and concrete form a cocoon around a soft and warm oasis.
    My heart will be content, as I learn to be satisfied with life’s basics.
    Bombs diffuse as ancient frequencies encompass all that exists.
    My ultimate wish comes true as I learn to surrender to life and simply no longer resist

    • Piper, I love how in this poem you focus on cultivating a year full of happiness and contentment. I feel like we spend so much time thinking about how we can be better when we should focus on how our lives are already beautiful. By letting go and refusing to resist life, I hope that you are able to live like never before. Thank you for inspiring me!

      • Thank you Emmy!
        I am so happy to hear you enjoyed my poem.
        Yes, isn’t it lovely to focus on the positives? Not always easy…but lovely nonetheless. At 54 I’ve learned that gratitude is the secret to life. ♥️
