January

Just as the drops of dew fell on my nose, causing me to smile
Another butterfly landed on my shoulder, and sang to me,
No, it said, no, don't hide those feelings, they make you human,
United in soul and cosmic energy with the power that governs you
Already, life has moved so much into your fate, be patient
Roll over me, my name is not January for nothing, just roll over me,
You shall see, someday, you shall understand why my other name is HOPE!
