A New Year’s Poem

March on—
Crunching the dead fir’s limbs
Stomping the stubborn icy crusts.
Bindle over shoulder
Sun fades into the night
Twilight beckons starlight
Breath ascends the starry sky.

Carry everything:
Your broods and your frown,
Your joy and your dimples,
Your sorrow and your tears,
Your fears and your silence.
To sever the pieces
Is to reject the whole.

Do not despair
In the death of the night.
No light to guide,
Heartbeat in arrhythmia,
Smothering solitude.
Darkness comes
Yet also departs.

Step by step,
Run towards dawn
Your feet as hooves
Of a restless stallion
swimming in the wind.
Horizon reveals itself–
A new day begins.
