Year New

 "I hope that in this new year you make mistakes. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes.Next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman (1960-) (Author)

 May you get squashed by the snow.

 And frost. Oh , the frost!

 May every morning be like  none you've ever seen.

 All eyes be on you.

 Contentment and peace.

 Cognisant of cheer not forgotten.

 Light in the dark of winter day.

 And in the dark of sunset bleak.

Snowbound isolation dreams.

When  the Lion comes forth to roar.

  Varied Thrush  thrills all. First of those who come for spring.

 Leaves crunch like Crispy Crunch bars.

 And there. Far. Mountains loom. With great blank eyes.

 And She. Princess of her realm. White as  snow; treads carefully.

 Christmas is all but distant.

 Sun finds Spencer . Or is it, Spencer finds Sun.....

 Snow  havens reach long and low.

Fire burns. Solemn friend. 

 Quiet folds the night. As the Year New journeys on.....

 "For last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice. And to make an END is to make a BEGINNING." - T.S.Eliot (1888-1965)
