Late December

By Equinox Asylum

I begin again in late December
often before the first

Seasons fall in line
never on my time
I wake from silent slumber
and begin before the end

The alpha and omega of my space and time
I trip over my own soul
on the way to redemption
and stand on the face of regret
with football cleats and a smile

I begin again in late December
and offer no excuses

    It was the line, "I trip over my own soul/on the way to redemption" that got me. Cerebrum poking indeed. ~T
