Ode to the New Year
.
Visions of fame and fortune dance through my mind
while my heart asks what about being kind
will we continue our endless race to the top of the heap
or will we follow our heart and take the leap
to heed the inner call of cooperation and care
for surely in life and love, our passions are fuel
for creativity, happiness and the golden rule
at the end of the journey, it won’t be the piles of stuff that matter
but rather the peace, love and joy that we scatter
.

Happy New Year my dear readers. May we all hear and follow the call of love. muse brad

Happy New Year!!
Thanks, Happy New Year to you!
LOVE! So true and so eloquently stated…Wishing you the very best in 2013!!
Thanks Shauna,Yes, love is a muse’s inspiration. For me, that is the poems of Rumi. Now if I can create one like his, then I would be happy for 2013!
blessings, for the new year,
Beautiful! What a wonderful invitation to “leap”!
And, Rumi is one of my favorites, thank you for reminding me of his work!
Thanks Joy!. It is a delight to have you here. Yes, I love Rumi too and aspire to write poems and odes as moving as his.
