A Memorably Good Year Poem by Rifhan Miller

A Memorably Good Year



A journey shouldn’t be taken alone, though the ride is yours only
Sometimes you lose sight and slip away
Sometimes you seek help, then steer your own
When you jump to the next car, you can’t wrestle both wheels.
Because at times, a lending hand is a must,
To your passenger when she needs you.

Sometimes someone joins in; but you can’t
Guide two cars with two travelers and one in another
You may switch, but it better be superior – and not just superficially
Leaving the other without a driver
When we take a wrong turn, we can turn back
Sticking through will lead you back to where you left
Without those you missed;
They have persisted on after a long rest
You may accelerate but you’ve lost sight of them
If they have departed somewhere down, and you won’t know where

A drink shouldn’t be wasted, though your cup is yours alone
Sometimes you sip too quickly, but be careful when it’s full.
Sometimes it overflows, but let it be
When you pour it back in, it’ll adulterate.
Because at times, you’ll lose sight of what’s important,
As the ice melts indefinitely.

A door should never be left ajar, though it’s yours alone
Sometimes you open it, and it slams shut in your face
Sometimes you’re careless, and someone slips in.
When 2’s a company and 3’s a crowd,4’s a party
Because at times,2 leaves for a company
And it doesn’t last.

Her hands are full, but her fingers point in the right direction
Her heart is heavy, though there’s room for some light
It still was, a memorably good year.
