New Beginnings

The eve of beginnings, of new hope and belief

As the January  month awakens from sleep

Creeping her way the new year unfolds

With optimistic magic for what she will hold

The pen has fresh ink, the paper is white

As the author creates a new passionate write.

From January forward

To December the end

Poets all gather to share, love and befriend.

So with winter breaking and Spring waiting to start

I blow out the cobwebs and open my heart.

Anticipating, the words ebb and flow

From what secrets I'm keeping and the secrets I'll show

Gathered together we write with desire

About  the sun and the moonlight, the rain and the fire

To the last line we celebrate as a new verse is born

Whilst the muses still whisper from dusk till dawn.

I love this and it is going into my favorites. The rhyme is great and the flow but the words convey the truth of the new year as it pertains to poets, us at this site. Lovely! Michael
