While out and about recently, I heard the old Simon & Garfunkel tune 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' playing, for the first time in years. Part of one stanza stuck with me:
"Sail on silver bird/sail on by, Your time has come, to shine/all your dreams are on their way..."
This reminded me, of all things, of the portion of the Power Girl Secret Origins story that speaks of how she emerged from her ship "eager to experience the world she'd only dreamed of".
So, in a moment of repose on the cusp of the New Year, I offer a portrayal of her considering all that's come before, and no doubt hoping this next year will be better than the last, like all of us.
