Janus Awakens

Janus opens the door after a long sleep And looks through the gate of the past, Now says farewell to all that’s been done Until turning his head to the future, And walks in one direction for all to follow. Restart has begun and it’s now a new Year, and Janus can once again sleep. By Greg Stanley Entry for the “Personification of January” Contest Sponsored by Nette Onclaud

Wow. Best poem I've read all week, easily. I appreciate your characterization of the new year. It's great imagery you have here; and, I think, great allusions.
