A NEW YEAR

New Years Eve, 2009

Snow softly swirling
Smothering colour
Smoothing edges
Silently blanketing my world in frozen beauty
Suffusing the light of a blue moon,
all seems brighter than before
Stillness captured, punctured only by the shouts of excited, up late, children
Snow softly swirling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Slowly and gracefully the old year breathes it's last

New Years Day 2010
Blue Sky
Bight sunlight
Bouncing off the white world
A hushed land
Beauty slowing melting
Drip
Drip
Drip
As colour returns and a new decade comes to life.
