William james falls's Blog – January 2012 Archive (1)

Year's End

Waves receding, back to the anonymity

of the pulsing swell,

their moment of glory dashed.

And here we stand, helpless on the shore

of almost New Year, watching as our year

of little triumphs, little tragedies float away,

with no fanfare, no farewell.

And already the waves of tomorrow

lap round our ankles,

it all begins . . . again.
