Another trip around the sun, done.

Needs fulfilled, wants waiting in the queue.

New horizons - distant, but worth the walk, while

Inspiration comes again, from a friend.

Vying for naught but the elevation of others,

Energizing and enabling our muses,

RP, our poetic star whisperer,

Sends an invitation to celebrate

And I am only too happy to accept,

Recalling the joy she's brought

You and I this past year.
