January

brand new calendar,
                           gate opens new beginning,
                                 the world celebrates.


                                 deep family bonding,
                        thick rice cakes and firecrackers,
                                 fire dragon dancing.

January to January, the opening of New Years. Where families grow and grow, and erode the pasts tears and fears. Nice poem, thanks for sharing, James :)
