New Year
Listen to poem:
New Year
The snow is here
An extra chill
Besets my brain
With all that will..
For me the time of year is blue
As tinsel gold is rolled
With frosty pages, white and new.
And all the thoughts of what has passed
Amassed in my tiny head
Need clearing..
As we are now New Yearing
Despite the things we left unsaid
The warmth of Summer sun's broad smile
Keeps me hopeful
And all the while
My throat is full
Of words I want to cry
But fall shy of the courage to risk it
As I may appear morose
Or less optimistic
The truth is this;
There are many like me
Walking through Winter's bleakness
And feeling far less jolly
In our lockdown-town
With it's political frown
And the long-flowing gown
Of the media spree
So..
Let's band together,
Oh women and men of the snow
And celebrate wilderness
While there's nowhere to go
We can reset our smiles
From black heartless coals
And begin to remember our hopes,
Dreams and goals.
Though the wintery vibe in our hearts has us gripped
That new story ahead means old news
Can be ripped.. and replaced
So..
Grab you a pen, a keyboard, a quill
And begin that new story
Or poem, to thrill
For the world needs your words and your thoughts
And be thankful..
It will
And may Winter soon pass for you..
Into warmness
From chill.
