Happines Is Something That One Settles for: A New Year's Poem

Happiness is something that one settles for After the ups and downs of ecstasy. Perhaps one doesn't know what one is looking for; Perhaps one doesn't realize one is free. Year's end is time to tally up the tentacles, Needing an occasion to take stock. Everywhere are angels singing canticles Well beyond the confines of the clock. Years, no more than seconds, are but moments, Each eternity again, again. All live on the wheel of joys and torments, Returning to the ramparts of the wind. Would anybody else like to share a New Year's Poem.

I don't think I have ever tried writing a poem about New Years. I enjoyed reading your poem and the first line definately makes you think. Thanks for sharing.
