As the twilight light shines through,
What dreams do you send to me?
A new year, do I welcome again,
With fresh hopes, or with fragility?
I know both will come, but tonight,
What shall I see when eyes close?
Will it be the touch of softest petals,
Or the prick of the thorns of a rose?
The year gone by, I’ll let that go,
Look ahead with positive thoughts,
Restart again, with renewed joys,
With old stumbles now left forgot.
Let the twilight light shine through,
I’ll catch it with a hopeful smile,
My dreamcatcher, I ask this of you,
As I take the first step of many miles.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
You don’t ask much of the dreamcatcher, do you, Vinay? 🙂 If you’re interested in the origin and traditional construction of a dreamcatcher, see https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Dreamcatcher

This is beautiful Leo! Sheer poetry! I have a dream catcher at home and now, whenever I look at it, I will be reminded of your poem 🙂
