Hundreds of thousands gathered eagerly waiting
for the new year to begin
intently watching the hands on a clock face turn
towards the midnight hour
each with their own story to tell of the past year
good and bad soon to disappear!
Drunk sober rich poor at this moment were equal
focused on the passing of time
their lives older at each stroke and second gone
some with hope others anguish
stood next to each other facing the unknown
a short lived unity shown!
That realisation that every one had the same goal
exchanging banter and hugs
problems and differences were of no importance
bitterness hatred did not exist
as the chimes began to strike the midnight hour
the massive fireworks did tower!
Like the cleansing and burning of twelve months
and their anticipation renewed
on new years eve a fresh beginning or same trek
none really knew what awaited
as the weather deteriorated together celebrated
time to cheer not be deflated!
Who knows just what mankind or nature has planned!
We can only hope it is A Happy New Year!
