fresh forte

it's a new year and you appear again
-----

can I make it more?
leave the pettiness, the materialism, the vanity, the short-lived worldliness

can I shed all that plagues me, embedded
and take small steps
to Him?
Your open arms reach out to these tears unrestrained

I'm tired of pretending, being empty
I want to live
I want to give

to care and smile from the inside.

Here's to a New Year for all,
Here's to love :-)
