january

untie that balloon
from you wrist,
let it fly upwards
towards the new
sun, the first day
of this new year.
this year of promise
and getting things
done that you have
neglected for so
long. no need to make
a list of what to
do, you know what
to do, and now it's
just a matter of
staying focused,
letting go of what
is holding you down,
and be true to
yourself and others.
let all of those
balloons go and fade
into that golden light
of january. it's time.
