New Year’s Day
Inside the 10,000 days of work
there are still spaces
to find the path again.
and many paths to wander…love you this year—next and always mama
Thanks, mama! Happy New Year!
Welcome to Poetry Friday, Kortney. I don’t know if I’ve visited here before.
I saw another poem on this image in today’s offerings. Love how these photos inspire such a variety of poems. Yours is so apt for the eve of a new year. Have a happy one!
Thanks and welcome, Violet. I’m a long time reader and sometimes joiner of Poetry Friday. Here’s to more poems in the new year!
Hi, Kortney! Welcome to Poetry Friday! I have not been to your site before – glad to meet you! Have a blessed new year.
Thanks so much for hosting us, Donna!
Hi, Kortney–I add my welcome to Poetry Friday, and thanks for the Twitter follow! Your poem makes me wonder a lot of questions, especially under the title “New Year’s Day”–I’m hoping my path will come clear in the next little while myself.
That #haikuforhealing hashtag grabbed me! Something so needed wrapped in something so approachable. I have a feeling I’ll be using it…
What a beautiful sentiment. We are never truly lost – sometimes we wander from our paths and sometimes we take the long way around, but we can always find ourselves in the end. Thank you for sharing!
