It's a day of joy and cheer,
The backend bookend for the year.
When Santa comes in his sleigh with deer
The future adorns a hopeful veneer.
The past fades, in a snap,
those fleeting, ephemeral stories.
Do they empower or do they sap?
those fading humors, horrors and furies.
A new Sun hides, just beyond the veil
with new stakes for every head and tail.
What will you take a chance on?
To feel, to seal or to heal!
So lets mask our fears,
and mend our tears.
Store away our rage,
and restore our courage.
Lets bring out the fireworks
and mark our runups.
Wax poetic on our dreams
while we bury viral rivalries.
Lets engage with another year
A New Year, with a kind ear
with a diverse vision
not endless division.
Lets start something truly new
And welcome 2022!
