At end, rebirth. This year I will
Eat better. Walk. Drink my fill
Of gold with every meal.

I will tell the trees I love them at least once a month.

This year I will find time for wisdom.
See friends. See illusions. See through capitalism. 
Perhaps see gods, but not believe in them.

I promise to thank my knees for their service.

This year I will breathe moonlight without fear.
One day in the springtime I will hug my ghosts
And wish them well. Farewell. Perhaps, this year.

Thank you! Alas that a new year does not bring new body parts. They should be thanked!

I highly recommend hugging a tree- its good for the soul. This is a lovely contemplative poem, apropos for the season of beginnings, or endings - whichever way you choose to view it,  from the eve or the day, filled with appreciative thoughts to be alive - to 'breathe the moonlight'. Loved that line and will consider the action when next I find myself in the moonlight. Happy New Year agnosticnun, and thank you for sharing your beautiful poetry today.smiley

".. I will breath moonlight without fear." Some particularly beautiful lines in there. Each year is rebirth and a wonderful way to look at life. Paul

Neat; Meaningful, whimsical work.

I really like your poem. 

I could see a bit of my own life in these lines ...

See friends. See illusions. See through capitalism. 
Perhaps see gods, but not believe in them.

For the captitalism and the gods seem to cause me even more worry than the twinges in my knees do.

Good on you!

You've encapsulated my own thoughts here.  This poem demands several reads, which is always a good sign for me. 

Perhaps, this year.  Let's hope so.

Well done with Pick of the Day.
