Pinging in the New Year

My phone pinging off the hook

As I drowsed warm and cozy 

And everyone else celebrated 

Together eating and drinking the 

New Year in and me wishing this

Year over already 

I was over it

My reward waking at the firework's blasts

To see them through my bedroom window

And wander window to window

To see this magnificent valley

Light up in every direction

Six helicopters hovering
Or zipping to and fro

And blinking orange and red

Just to have the view I had

From my warm window for 

What is hope but the
Rejection of sorrow
