Post Festival/Fireworks

This, in between the midnight crush,
And what will be a much more quiet moment
At the shrine two hours from now -- no rush,
While the crowds flow, thin, and drift
Away, so I take this moment to gather
The thoughts that come to mind, and shift
Them into the words that now appear
On screen, and lead to thanks for the gift
Of another hour, another day, another year.

  1. We should all be thankful for everyday, so true. Happy New Year! 2012 and you are on the first page already. We are awaiting the strike of midnight in 14 hours and then our first page of the new year will unfold. Wonder what the stories will be...
