Ode to January
You come, and we welcome a new beginning.
You arrive, and we celebrate your presence.
There is an outpouring of joy,
And a feast of thanksgiving.
You come and open the door to a cycle of 365 days.
You arrive, and we turn to fresh pages,
Embracing a new way of living,
Counting the days and nights.
There is a door that leads to you,
And we are eager to pass through it.
We embark on a journey,
Though some are called to the beyond before its end.
Your arrival brings awakening for some, They discover new ways to blossom the meadow.
They dispel the pervading shadows,
As you guide their steps, lit by the sunshine of your embrace.
Yet some do not perceive the light you bring.
They stumble and search in the gloom,
Singing songs that are not their own,
Following paths not envisioned by their minds.
January 4, 2025.
