A Passing Year – choka – December 31, 2014

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Georgia

A Passing Year (Choka)

celebrate
the death of another year
what was
what might have been
happy joyous smiles
dark thunderous exchanges
deaths
new-born babes
acts of war
moments of peace
new friends made
losing sight of dear loved ones
joys and tragedies
often humdrum boredom

departing year
pasted in a scrapbook
entitled life
sitting in her rocking chair
the old lady remembers

Happy New Year!

I’m hoping the whole experience of life and it’s much deeper meaning becomes clearer with age — I think I may just need stronger glasses . 🙂

  Hmmm … well, now I’m not so sure that age brings deeper meaning or clearer understanding … but, one does learn patience and if you’re lucky to be born with a sense of humour .. the game is worth it 😉 (stronger glasses help as well)

    Hahahaha— I know it… well, I guess a stronger glasses prescription couldn’t hurt, anyway. 😀 LOL

        I think I’m gonna have to give up my 1970’s era frames and get some bifocals. 😀

      No problem by me, and i presume you’re talking about the Tale Weaver prompt (careful… you may get zapped!) I just saw it now haven’t been able to get on line here at home … sigh. And didn’t get home ’til late last night. Hope you had a great time!

        Had an “okay” time. Doggie is doing much better – showing some signs of life, which is good.
        
        Yup. Did the Tale Weaver. Fairytale is up on its own (yes! hooray!). Very careful.

        No, I think that problem FINALLY resolved itself. Not the way I would have handled it perhaps – but it’s RESOLVED — and I’m grateful 😉

A very astute and gracious summing up – my favourite line here is ‘often humdrum boredom’, which people tend to prefer to gloss over 😉

  Thanks …. I think that at times I prefer humdrum boredom to drama myself 😉 Glad you enjoyed the choka.
