a chance for me to take

an escape to reach the utmost

all before dawn broke

I spoke of new dimensions

but that was apprehension

just tried to "blend in"

couldn't find a friend worth remembering

past a few days

emerged from the haze

with a piercing gaze

displayed an array of emotional turmoil

as the tide turns

sit back and learn

just like I told you

It's been said

but worth repeating

ad nauseum

because sometimes you can't tell

even though they wished you well

for a bright new year

let's make it very clear

steer the conversation back to the subject

we all expect

detect

then select

the correct

check in my spirit to connect

as we reflect

it's as good as it gets

but let's perfect

the next context

like some insects
