As we approach the New Year...

As fresh as glistening virgin snow, blanketing a pristine winter�s morn. As clean as the crystalline waters of a swollen creek, tumbling, rushing down a mountainside... As bright as the golden sun, embracing the earth with warmth... As pure as the delighted giggles of baby, splashing mommy at bath time... As new as the peeping of a chick, birthing from the egg... As vast as a lonely mansion� longing for a family to fill it .... As hopeful as the eyes of a bride and groom, exchanging vows, rings, hearts, lives� So too is the dawn of a New Year� the threshold of a new chapter� fresh, clean, bright, pure, new, vast � A time of hope� to begin again� to forget� A time to� Michelle Close Mills �

This is a beautiful poem, Michelle. I hope that the New Year is one of a change of direction in all of the negative things the world and her people have been experiencing. I hope it will be one of pulling together that we may unite in love and understanding. Beautiful images grace your verses. Very nicely done!
Take care,
Sherry

Lovely. I was able to forget the Stevie Wonder song "As" that started playing in my head as son as I saw your title and just read your poem. LOL. His is not about the New Year, however.
Loved this. I agree with Robert.
