today is the beginning
of a joyous new year
but i am lost
and i don't know
how to start living it.

what should i do?
where should i go?
how do i find,
the person i must become.

i have no resolutions
written in plans or perfect signs—
only a heart
trying to keep up with time.

and as i watch the fireworks
exploding in the sky,
i wish i could join them,
in a beautiful show of gun powder and light.

I wish I could be part of something
that marvelous and loud—
something that is seen
without having to ask for it.

something that becomes light
without trying to be enough.
