when today comes after yesterday
and yesterday was in fact last year
then today's unlike any given day
today's the day unfulfillment reappears

Unfulfillment...
Greets me annually.
As I review the loss, the forgotten and the outstanding of yesteryear, a sense of unfulfillment reappears. Makes me wonder if my thirst is too much for my throat... if my hunger too large for my stomach...
Resolutions...
Synonymous with every new year.
Nudges me to pen my long list of to-do's. Yet I have not. Though I must admit there have been random whispers of self-promises in my head.
My refusal for writing is perhaps due to my fear of casting them in stone... only to have them confront me next year, should I break the very promises I had made to myself.
Having said that, I am truly grateful for all the blessings, the acknowledgements and the accomplishments of yesteryear.
With that, I'd like to welcome you, 2007.
