Imaginary Garden

Mary provided a challenge to write a poem, "ring out the old and ring in the new".  A poem symbolic of hindsight and reflection~

 

 
Tides of change
ripples ring truth's essence
Still sailing on course, my journey
Following the sea
allow soul’s anchor 
to secure heart's ballast
Altair’s brilliant light still guiding you
On sea of change
destination True North
Bell cries in flurry of thought and fog’s murky stillness
captivation arrives on new island
darkness vaults histogram
focus sharpened
memory blurs sideways glances
viewpoint on the horizon
empathy on path
chasing light
illuminates soul's patches.

So Beautiful to describe entering a new year as sailing..ancient mariner's had to depend on the stars to navigate the sea..I believe there are stars we follow as we navigate life...people, places, things.. Happy New Year!!
