An Epiphany – or something

 

I want to write something profound

WORDS to share around

For you to wonder at my wisdom

Ponder at my imparting

New Years bring new hopes, new dreams

And yet it seems

We are still mired in the old

Can’t shake off the cold

It’s crept into our very bones

We shut the doors and hibernate at home

 

I want to write something hopeful

WORDS to cling to

Find a new tune to sing to

But January is dark navy blue

The colour of school uniforms, night and deep space

Going on forever

Growing blacker

Drifting further

 

I need to write something cheery

WORDS to impress

Like a new designer dress

As simply stunning as a snowdrop

Perhaps overlooked

Often under-trodden

A light bright gift of hope – an epiphany

If you know where to look.
