A road leads into the new year

A Lovely New Poem for a Lovely New Year! 😉 ❤

A little snap at one side of the room
and an answering snap at the other:
Stiff from the cold and idleness,
the old house cracking it knuckles.
Then the great yawn of the furnace.
Even the lampshade is drowsy,
its belly full of a warm yellow light.

Out under the moon, though,
there is at least one wish
against this winter sleep:
A road leads into the new year,
deliberate as a bride
in her sparkling white dress of new snow.

I am an author who writes in order to create more peace and understanding in the world. I am a teacher who has taught students from many countries of the world. I now teach Heart2Heart Writing workshops. I love to travel and first traveled to other countries before finally deciding to see some of the U.S., places that foreigners I met have been to, but that I hadn't. I am happily married to a retired teacher who is now a full-time musician. We hope to someday travel together to places where I read my novel(s) and speak to people about loving life while Angelo plays his piano and entertains the audience. I am assisting seniors and troubled adults to write their life stories in order to heal. Life has much to offer so I always encourage young people to hang in there and know that things WILL get better. View all posts by Sherrie Miranda
