First Month

My January, you cup the balm of my fortitude
in your hands streaked with breathing hope,
nursing  the fertile seeds of renewal
with crystal mist so despicably beautiful
that moonlit fireworks glaze steadily
on night’s  eyes, grounding my balance
with acceptance that throbs of both
discontent and love come 
from the  same seed:  and how
this first  month must be relished
in holiness of fresh dowry days--

January & February are the coldest months in Malta. I admit I hate the cold, but when I read this beautiful poem of yours, Nette, I realize that we have to learn to live with both "fire and ice". ~ I hope this coming January your soul will find "a hearth" ... warmth and blessings. Hugs // paul
