The new year is rushing in
Washing away yesterday's madness
Washing away hatred
Washing away bombs
killings and murder
Washing away, pounding into sand
All the the beliefs that
sent one man against another
Washing away anger
anger...so stained with wrong
Washing away those stubborn
hurts that cling like burrs
Washing away the wrongs of yesterday
Lay down sorrow and revenge
and let it go...let it be
Wash it away
Let us try a better way, brother
Lets start clean and new
Let the New Year wash it away
Oh stubborn, stubborn beliefs
Set in stone, that also crumbles away

So glad to see a poem from you, Linda. Yes, this a great thought for New Years. Check Facebook and see Ronda's photos of your family at the Christmas dinner. Really some good ones.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are writing again. Your poem tells what we need...washing away! Keep the poetry coming.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite inspiring for the new year. I like it, and will think of it when I think of you, which is often. May all your dreams come true in 2010. It's a good number.
