Another year gone
Ah .. another new year. I just finished musing about life and the need for decisions every moment. Years pass and leave me enriched mostly, they leave me depleted sometimes but always a year older and with an increase in the amount of white hair on my head. Another year gone!
Going back to my favourite poem Ulysses about which I blogged earlier

Maybe Ulysses (or Tennyson rather) sang thus on new year eve when he was musing about life and wondering about getting older with the passing year like me.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
and then took a new year resolution
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Another interpretation.. Good poetry is that which reflects your mind.
