I was not mistaken
The light it was there
As the brightness envelops
me here in its glare
That promise of hope
which each new year brings
Echos crescendo
as unison sings
And the yellow that guided
me here to this place
is with radiance reflected
in the glow of my face

With one foot in yellow
the other in white
My pace takes me forward
with promise in sight
At present the mist
O’er floodplains obscures
But behind it the light
like a bright beacon lures
And the promise that beckons
to dispel doubt and fear
Grows strong in the light
now that January’s here

In white there’s essence of the new
January starts the year afresh
As we from hibernation
awaken from our winter rest
In white there’s hope and promise
Galanthus for a New Year’s day
Echoed in these few short lines
Capture all I have to say
In white there’s inspiration
Clarity gives birth to new
And so with hope we gather here
Repetition to eschew

Galanthus greets this New Year’s day
Snowdrop heads due reverence show
and as a new sun rises
sleep heads all come to know
That here is opportunity
A promise waiting in the wings
heralding the new, a first
Tugging at those old heartstrings

Galanthus (aka ‘Snowdrop’) synonymous with ‘hope’, is the January birth flower.

I have confidence that
now the year end is here
That twenty eighteen
will end with good cheer
For it’s swiftly flown past
and been full to the brim
with all of the memories
contained here within
And now looms the next
with much promise in store
Our sixtieth year
for two birthdays and more
And whilst I would not
wish time to fly past
I feel certain the next
will for us be a blast

A little yellow
as a splash against the green
Memory of warmth
This yellow fills me
Drives away my winter blues
Hums a cheerful song
And I am yellow
Reflecting the sunshine here
I shine to the day

Eight line stanza thinking of
the winter with me now
Brittle chill, not warming sun
cold upon my brow
But dressed up warm its good to brace
the iron winter chill
for as it passes Springtime looms
and ever closer still
