New Year’s 

This year like a fresh white page

Still warm from the press of tomorrow.

Midnight spills sparkling light on the snow

Time exhales, fast but taming.

We step forward carrying new seeds in our pockets,

Dreams as seashells,

Morning waves of calm

Singing a vibrant new song,

Sunlight rinses the dust 

For our new plans

Like a sea of healthy rhythms

For our new days

To breathe steady as waves

Learning our shore.

Hope stands tall

with a strong tree in winter 

And now a new beginning we grow.
