Diamonds of stars
burn bright tonight,
and I can smell snow
in the night's air.
This will be the last day
of this year,
and the stars above
shine so bright.
What new chapter awaits
to be written?
Where will I find myself
one year from today?
What lies ahead?
All I can do
is stare straight up
past the darkness,
through the cold
and into the lights
that dangle above,
reflecting all that burns
deep within me,
and the hope of something,
something to come
and find me dreaming
shines the lights
in my own eyes.
Say good-bye to another year.
Hope for a new chapter
to give me wings to fly
and live
my dreams.
Tonight, the stars are alive.

Last Day

Happy New Year, everyone. :)
