Doesn't poetry save lives?

Olde year blues ~

I never wait for you to come
nor for you to go.
But your final passage 
has only sadness
writ in it's skein.

Even as the skies 
streak with celebration,
no amount of music 
can drown the plaintive cries of
a hundred partings. 

Resurrect, as you must,
but leave your false dawns aside:
have the courage 
to tell your final truth
first.
