2011 Luminaries

[kittypaws]

On New Year’s Day
our streets are lined;
flickering candles
nestled in golden sand
burning in bright bags.

They bring a delight
to the essence of life.
Summoning up many
imaginings.
However,
it is what your spirit
perceives.

Sadly all that is left
in the early dawn
is a pile of sand
on your lawn.
And who you aspire
To be.

Happy New Year Lit Net!!

nice pic. I particularly like the sign No Outlet! In the morning of new years day, we may feel that way!

Wonderful perception and poem. Love the dark sepia of the photo. yes, and the "No Outlet" sign. Shades of Sartre.

I would exchange the semicolon after "lined" and use "with" to begin L3.
