The Final Page of this Chapter

December the 31st—where it all ties together? Where it all falls apart? Perhaps, perhaps not. Only fireworks are guaranteed and the stars that inspire them, time's drummer boy march, at least 28 days of February, and January 1st. so wrap up this chapter, make your notes in the margins, shed a tear if you must, then shake it off, and at midnight, we will turn the page and kiss 2024 goodbye, and say hello to the rising sun of 2025!
