Day one exercise
Write as a doorway. What do you want to enter?
Try to use one or more of these words: Few, elaborate, voice, stone, iris, doorway,
Entering 2022
Though a portal
A doorway
A narrow stone entrance
A wide elaborate walkway
A Milky Way full of stars
A night sky white with clouds
Looking forward to
Leaving the whirlwind of 2021 behind
Entering the new year
With no expectations
With a little hope
With a lot of uncertainty
Open to possibilities
Scared of falling back
Excited about moving forward
Leaving behind worn walkways
And barely touched paths
A list of could’ve, should’ves,
Wondering where the year went
How time could move so quickly.
Bringing me to
The doorway
We all will enter
Each at our own speed
In our own time zone
With our own wants and needs
Midnight kisses and celebrations
Fireworks
Ghost images in the windows
Reflections of tvs
Candles, lights.
ATime to go to sleep
Tomorrow will look like just another day
But i know better
Day one of a new year
Reflecting, resolving, renewing.
Wondering where the years have gone
And where they will take me.
Entering 2022
With an open mind
An open heart
At peace
Searching, Seeking,
Wandering, wondering.
Entering doorways and portals
To see what lies beyond the threshold.
Unafraid of consequences
Because consequences are the point of living.
Looking for the doorway
That tells me as I enter,
"You have arrived."
