Here’s to a fresh start,
Here’s to today,
A clean, open slate,
And a bright warm day.
Here’s to serenity,
Here’s to all life,
A chance to just smile again,
In entirety of strife.
Here’s to our families,
Here’s to all the hope,
That keeps us from tumbling down again,
Down this wicked hole.
And as the sun did shine on us,
I hope it still will do,
A new year’s in the wind and skies,
It’s time we bloom anew.
~ Happy new year~

Happy times mate. I like how you often write in celebration. Grateful for the pleasures and joys in life.
Here’s to writing and all arts.
Here’s to beautiful sunrises and gorgeous silver moons. To glorious mountains and endless deserts.
Here’s to that great little meal you make for yourself that you can feel the taste and aroma of in your belly for hours afterwards.
Here’s to that amazing wine 🍷 that you wash it down with.
Here’s to you brother.

I’m commenting here because I wanted to thank you for your kind words about my poem “Brush strokes of burnt sienna” and to say that the sky on that particular evening evoked that phrase in my mind.
I attempted to reply to your encouraging feedback but couldn’t do so because I’d deleted that poem a few minutes after posting when I spotted an error. A message popped up to let me know my thank you comment couldn’t now be sent. Hope that makes sense.
Keep up the great work ❤🌹
