a new year
clearing last year’s ashes
from the hearth
a new year
clearing last year’s ashes
from the hearth
lost
in the memories
autumn fog
a new year
I return
to old favourites
another year
still the same words
from my pen
New Year
freshly chopped logs
on the fire
year’s end
realising
how far I’ve come
departing year
all the moments
we’ve shared
shorter days
autumn deepens
underfoot
holidays over
autumn greets us
on our return
morning alarm
the smell of fresh coffee
stirs my senses
