What is a new year?
A chance to fly? A chance to fall?
A new year replaces the old
But the wheel, for us, ne'er turns anew.
Why do we try so hard?
For love? For vengeance?
We try for both
But in both, we fail.
How does it work?
Does it spin quickly? Slowly?
The wheel turns
But for all it turns differently.
Who are we?
Are we lost? Are we saved?
The light is ever so far
But ever so close.
Where?
After death? Before life?
From the light have we come
But to the light, we can also return.
What is a new year?
A chance to live? A chance to die?
Choose wisely, my friend
But never too wisely.
