Well now, it would appear that Christmas has once again snuck up on us... Where has the year gone?
I have to admit, I've felt rather detached from the whole Christmas scene this year, for a variety of reasons that I'd rather not go into, but the long and short of it is that even despite my alienated morosity, it's still Christmas, and still an incredible time of year!
Christmas.
New year.
December.
One month.
This time we must remember.
I see no reason
To dwindle the season
With thoughts of commercial gain.
Though sad to say,
The same is said
For most major holidays.
Christmas.
Reflection.
Past.
Present.
A look back at the lost and last?
Thinking back upon the year
Just spent, this twenty ten.
I think that I can stand among
The strongest of noble men.
Though here I sit, a weakened cynic
Who pines for the new year's dawn.
Christmas.
Growth.
Development.
New Birth.
This time should be well spent.
Come new year,
Our two zero eleven,
I hope that we shall choose
To take the chance and make a choice
To improve our outlooks and actions
And make better this land that we borrow.
Christmas.
December.
Love?
Compassion?
Only the future will tell...
Well, it looks like there's still a bit of Christmas cynic in me, but you can't fully flush out the optimist it seems. So here's to the future! To the new year! I hope and pray that 2011 will be a time of reflection and improvement for us all. I for one vouch to try and better myself in a lot of aspects, my morosity being one of them... But, another is to write something on this blog every day of the coming year, to build up a heck of a compendium of writing and continue to develop. Hell, I don't know what I'll accomplish, but I'm always one for a challenge. So here's to what's left of Christmas! And here's to the coming year!
God bless you all and have a safe remainder of 2010, a very safe and joyous new year and until next time, this is Mr. Craiggy, signing off for now...
