Riding down the road
a childhood town
decay in the land
death surrounds
Feeling nostalgic
taken back to a time
when the land was free
growing in the mind
Abundance in many forms
a smile on each face
the sun shone through spirits
imagination to embrace
Chaos came
as darkness took over the land
spirits clung to depression
music moved on with the band
Within the heart
there is a place of hope
challenging the depression
on a small scope
Spirits with light
showing a new way
lifting up desperate souls
into the rays of a new day
The calendar turns
it’s a Happy New Year
there is light in the darkness
overcoming all fear

Deep poem, not sure if I caught it right.
Starts off from a child’s perspective. Chaos referring to growing up and realizing everything is not always roses. However you can always try again for positive change as the calendar changes.
Happy New Year Debbie
