New Year 2012





in my mirror
blackbirds on bare branches
chirping in the year


a new era
watching the last sunset
of a passing year


new year dawn
the neighbours still
heading home


new year dawns
pain sinks deeper
with the last sunset





new year party
unwanted christmas gifts
rehoused


new year parties
strangers kissing strangers
all over the world


new year countdown
champagne corks pop
hands holding hands





people gather
embracing the past
into something new



countdown
a breath between today
and tomorrow



countdown
smiling from one year
into another



new year
hoping for more
of the same



new year fireworks
a grey january day
sparkles





new year
daffodils
green shoots
