Intention

South Beach

Roll back those lowering gray 2013 clouds,

my friends,

and make a joyful noise to welcome

the new year in.

Sweep out the old cobwebby, difficult, 

grumbling months,

and set your home to gladness.

It's a brand new year.

What is your brightest dream

for this new chapter

of your life?

Write it down, attach a photo.

Stick it on your fridge.

Then set about making it come true,

as only you can do.

Today I heard a strange-looking crow

make a warble I have never heard

from a crow.

I wondered what new kind of crow

he was trying to be,

what song he was trying out,

and what its message might be.

Perhaps to stop repeating 

the old familiar dusty droning songs

and try out one so new and unthinkable 

that it gives you massive fear and goose bumps.

Then you will know 

that is exactly the song

that you are meant to sing.

Plunge in!

2014 is almost here.

There will be a New Moon.

They say we can set our goals for the year 

on this moon.

I shall be sure to look at it

up there in the quiet winter sky.

I shall picture waves advancing and retreating 

in response to its lunar call.

I will remember the joy I felt when I once lived 

beside the sea,

and set my intention:

Dear Life,

let me have some more years

of sunrises and sunsets

beside the sea

and you wont hear 

another complaint

from me!

2014 is the year it must happen, kids! Send your thoughts into the universe and help me manifest myself back to the shore! 

Whoa! Right after I posted this, I clicked on Kerry's link and she says the Toads challenge tomorrow will be to write about Intention. I already have this ready to link when it posts. Freaky.
