like a stick used
to draw a mark
on the sand
as a remembrance
of its creator’s
purpose
at its completion
the calendar
takes on
a similar role
each year
and then
is reborn
on January first
given the task
to plot out
a potential course
for the willing
all those
who wish
and hope for
a chance to live on
having this want
to become
do more
and to better
the past year
left behind
within the pages
of time
known
forevermore
as days gone by
no longer the days
of the new year
peace out
