Hopes for Better

The year that passed
held lots of sorrow.
How much will last
to tomorrow?
Lives rearranged
by all that changed
want less such mess

Misdirection

But me no buts
some truths are lies
with enough guts
to improvise
Yet look closely
and you can see
where blurs occur

The lights, the love
the glad tidings
Joy to sing of
And five gold rings
With hope’s for peace
and hate’s decrease
And bits of wit
