Towards the end of year - Thursday poem

'Towards the end of year

Towards the end of year

some are in pure cheer

others face pure fear 

of the new to come

and how they will belong.

But to all, is dear

the new beginning,

so many see as a hope for winning

finally their moments to be them

owning them fully and aware

to really care

about this unique living

and accepting what life is giving. 

Sometimes you know, life will show

new ways to live

and new ways to forgive, 

yourself foremost and others 

so you can let go of inside smothers, 

which is taking the breathing air from you

to see clear and true

what is yours and what is mine

and let this inside light shine

bright again

and not feel ashamed

in front of yourself

to be able to fill your inside with real wealth

richness in the heart and soul

to behold,

your moments true colors

to expand into all directions, wider, taller, smaller

and vice-versa, to live all

and expierence a new way to fall,

which is more an aware jumping,

fear dumping,

and asking life to catch you while sailing

and trust into the good prevailing. 

So, how are you going towards the end of year?

In trust or fear?

In hope or not able to bear?

In love and care or despair?

In understanding or growling?

In creative action or just in a fraction?

With a smile or a frown?

With aliveness or in deprived mess?

 So, what are you living

going towards the end of year?

What are you giving

yourself to make friends with fear?

So, what are you creating with your moments

before the year ends?'
