accept – welcome
except – leave out, exclude
and
except – leave out, exclude
and
coarse – rough
course – path, route
course – path, route
tedious to the close of a troubled year
where many could not accept the varied
outcomes but to cry among hungry mouths
except for the radiance of the new year
that heralded a discourse of expectations
it gave only a glimmer of hope to some
course thinking with impending hysteria
still under wraps social woes on course
casting long shadows behind the scene
amusing oneself with a host of resolutions
and staying alive with strategies of survival
would wear out fast the air of steadfastness
being alive and kicking is already a blessing

ReplyDeleteA troubled year indeed...but offering a smidgen of what it is to be hopeful!
ReplyDeleteDespite it all ... 'the new year
ReplyDeletethat heralded a discourse of expectations'. A nice flash of hope amongst the gloom.
Glad you are alive and kicking my friend! Always a pleasure to see you at the Muse Hank!
ReplyDeleteI daresay every one of us has been through the mill, each in our own way. Likewise, after all of this, alive and kicking is a good place to be.
ReplyDeleteThe exhaustion is real.
ReplyDeleteLove your last line. In spite of all the troubles going on , life is worth living.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the weariness of the last year but, one must look forward and keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteI am almost hesitant to make new resolutions ... only to have them horrifically thwarted. However ... on we must go / upward / onward / somehow.
ReplyDelete"being alive and kicking is already a blessing" - for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed... good write.
