Last & First

2016,

Golden moon.  Stars blinding and brilliant. 

Trees, endless.

Sunrise, sunsets, lakes, and trailheads.

Late nights, early mornings, hard days.

Good days.

Laughter, sweet laughter. 

Quiet moments, quite a few.

There was crying, too.

A kangaroo, an old acquaintance, a

first love.

Rain, autumn leaves.  Kisses, innumerable.

One bridge, two.

Books, a handful.  

People, special

people. 

This is my letter to you.

For you were all of these.

Last piece of 2016. 
First piece in a long period of time that adequately expresses
the motions of this experiential year gone by too quickly.

Finished two hours before 2017 commenced.
