New Year's Eve

the snow is crisp, textured with a snow cat
skiing in the close of 2017, I am thankful
for the muscles which propel me forward,
the mind which insists on doing what's difficult
in view of perhaps limited results
this is 2017, the year when Daniel and Tori,
Karen and Chris became couples, committed in
their optimism for a future together as should be,
they will stay up until midnight while
my love and I will snore gently at 10 pm
after downing a shot glass or two of Root,
our favorite nightcap,
with the ending of 2017, hope springs forth for
a change at the top, a change towards peace and
compassion, a caring for our beloved Earth, our
only home, for less suffering and more giving,
and for earlier snow next winter.
