New Years Day
Last year, a lot of things I hoped to do
but can't go back and make correction to
the gains and faults that fall behind so fast;
that year is just the mind that thinks the past.
The most enduring moments pass away;
so soon to-day becomes but yesterday.
What's now is briefly seen, then turns to flee.
When do the days become a memory ?
Ahead; the path unseen, another year
on trust. A world existing as idea.
Not yet to leave behind the nevermore,
nor yet to see what lasts for evermore.

It's an old one recycled, not too clever but the only one I had on hand for the new year.
