Happy New Year
By: Reid Laurence on 1/19/2010; 1:39 PM

Flooded gates

Of years gone past

Have left a score

Of those aghast

In harbor shores

I trim my sail

But I decide

I cannot whale



I cannot go

The ocean vast

Of many seas

We may not last

Ahead and lee

Direct my path

Move forward hence

And not look back



Again I try

To bear the deck

But seas oppose

About my neck

Have taken breath

And life from me

And cast it to a lifeless sea



And whose domain

Will never roar

But quiet then

And hear no more



A litany

Of streaming years

Will never quench

The crowd that jeers

But time will come

When oceans take

The sea of us

And will forsake
