A Happy New Year to one and all |
Limbo's End It's funny how the days align Converge, roll into one 'tween Christmas and New Year we find They merge, forge, fold and run A limbo midst a season cold, a low point for a few … For others it's a reason bold, a chance to take their cue As days begin their stretching out, with subtlety at first Skies scaled grey, grim, sketching doubt … with fledgling hours worse Stumbling through closing doors December's gates lock fast Through avenues and corridors, and ghosts trapped in the past As some wraiths join us for the ride, as New Years, they begin, join others, we are yet to find as January rolls in With fairy lights spun lowly, round, and mornings after rough, with days that stretch out slowly wound … yet never quick enough With resolutions, lower chill a new year starts it's turn The candle's wick burns slower still … the starting of the burn Flames that flicker brightly, lost Candelabras incomplete A hopeful treading, lightly, soft Schemes, dreamed so bittersweet Yearned longly, in the darkness Twin wicked candles, kindred flames Burning brightly, brief and timeless In wax, our thoughts remain The fire never takes it all, it always leaves some back Time will march, we take our falls Treading through the black Taking down the stars in days, with angels back in draws Different stars shine different ways … find out which way's yours |
