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.
