January - God of the Doorway
Eyelids heavy with tears,
begin to form
from puffy grayish/black clouds.
It moves cunning and swift
like a lion’s roar
then softly on tired- padded- paws
it is gone,
gracing the terrain
with its magnificence.
Its door opens to a momentous
reception,
a welcoming grand appearance
of a new year
a new beginning
when the door opens…
