Another Year

2/18/11

What have I done with myself

as it's not easy to remember

all that's transpired since last birthday,

but fortunately there is record

in all these books of 'pros-etry',

so I picked up last journal

started in previous April of 2010,

felt pang when reading first entry

'It's Time' stating what I'd begin

conjunct with writing new poetry collection,

seeing how I've been distracted again

from doing what I deem important,

to be fair, I've accomplished some

though not enough for my liking,

certainly time spent otherwise is worthy

while continuing to learn life lessons,

yet, as spoken by dear friend

added to my saying 'I'm crazy.',

she said, 'Yes, crazy and untamed.'

plus other reasons for loving me,

bringing thoughts how I've dampened Self

when trying to fit 'societal sanity'

that I never wanted, or could,

perhaps not meant in this lifetime,

where my strength, passion, drive, simply

arrives when living another year outrageously.
