A chapter in the book The Ottava Rima

Join in the Dance

by adewpearl


When I have taken one last backward glance
at all I've done and all I've failed to do,
once I've assessed each falter and advance,
I'll bid what I can't change a fond adieu
and step onto the floor for my first dance
of one more day that makes its bold debut.
Life does not pause; its beat is far too strong,
and so I join the dance of new year's song.
