Day, Friday Flash 55, Future, New Year, Night, Old year, Past, Present, Wiped clean, Year, Yet again
Image shot by me
Another night so clear
Gently drifting by
I wipe her parting tear
And bid her goodbye
A fresh day now here
Waits with arms outstretched
I slowly daub and smear
A past that was etched
All that I most revere
I hold closest to me
And dust off every fear
A new horizon I see
**Posted for G-Man’s Friday Flash 55… Do check the amazing stories/poems written in EXACTLY 55 words…**
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
I hope the horizon you see is beautiful and full of adventures and promises! Lovely as usual!

There are often times when your poetry is so sweet and romantic, this is one of those times. Great 55!
Aww…thanks for seeing this poem in that romantic light, Myrna… it’s very sweet of you!!!
Such a lovely poem! Bravo! Happy new year, Kavita!
Thankooooo, Gally sweetie!!
A VERY happy new year to you tooo!!!!
Missing your poems these days!!
Nothing like facing a new day with a positive attitude about the future…we should all join you Kavita. 🙂
And you are most welcome, Charles!!! It’s a snowy day here today… but the beautiful horizon never fails to keep me motivated! 🙂
There’s a touch of sadness here as you dust off the fear.
well, when you realize that it was fear that you just experienced, I guess it makes you feel sad to see yourself so insecure and ‘unsafe’ from your own inhibitions..
Very nicely pointed out, Alice! Thanks so much for your observation…
I hope you are having a fantastic year, my friend!!!

While I drifted from light darkness, you moved from dark to light. I see exactly your point. This was well crafted and I like the positive energy in the last stanza.
Cheers!
heheheh… don’t you?!?! LOVED the way our poems were like holding hands and skipping about sorta! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this one, my friend…
Cheers to you too! Happy Weekend!
Kavita:
This was bittersweet, dusting off the past and standing in the present wiping away the tears to see clearly now, it takes courage to let go and move beyond what was to something unknown but hopeful it will be better somehow. A beautiful creative poem for setting the tone for the new year. and a lovely 55.
May this new year be filled with much joy and a reason to celebrate your life.
cheers,
joanny
Oh Joanny, thanks for seeing every aspect of this poem just as it had wanted it to be seen!! You know, I had originally written this poem as one for the new year…and then, since I had already posted one for that occasion, I changed the words (today) to make look like it is a transition from night to day…
So when you said ‘year’, it really got a huge smile to my face 🙂
I am so glad you liked this poem so much, my friend.. and thanks for all the kind wishes and sweet words here… it really means a great deal to me!
Hope you have a WONDERFUL and JOYOUS year yourself!!
xoxoxo

Amen to that, Lulda!!! Best wishes to you too!!!

I particularly like the ending on this one. Instead of giving in to fear, it’s brushed off so the future is in sight.
