Views in Verse on 'time to reflect' (on what really matters)

The Aussie holiday silly-season
(The day’s between...)

Summer colours bubbling bright
Parties hum into the night
Celebrate hard, its that time of year again!
Beach crowds, they hurry slow
Warm embrace very much ‘the go’
So overdue with family and very much loved friends

The seaside shops they can distract
Perhaps a casual interact
With smiling passers-by along the way
The boulevard long and sweaty
Conversations short (sic petty)
Noise a rattling from children who like to squeal at play

Moon on-water after dark
At the beach or harbour park
The bay lights rise with nature’s song
Great memories shared with friends
Conversation so easily lends
‘Reminiscing’ the key as 'the story' moves along...

‘The Unresolved’, unwanted guest!
An alcohol-endangered quest
Family glibly interfere with each other’s thoughts...
But no matter what to think, expect or fear
The new year still awaits us here
The daytime vibrant, thick with outdoor sports

Onward as the eve unfolds
Another year, of getting old
Whatever these days is worth celebrating...?
A further candle on the cake?
How much more money can we make?
There must be more to life than this...
Perhaps to consider others for a change
Respect their ways although they seem strange
And to appreciate more of what we truly have to give!
