Farewell to 2025

Year in review:

A lot of loss
Best left unsaid.
A lot of love turned sweeter that
I was almost afraid would sour.
But no, the juice flowed freely.
My lips were wet.
My throat sated.
My belly satiated.
Full even.
Every-time I walked
I could feel the liquid
Inside my belly sway
And my belly itself jiggle.

I was happy.
I am happy.
I look towards the future
With the smile of a sailor
Who has weathered many storms
And always returned home.

A happy read, though my belly was too much satiated in '25, so '26 brings a need to eat less. There's always a cost to contentment isn't there. :o) Blessings, Allen
