Don this Cusp

Beneath this waning moon, I shall
stand naked in its pale stark flash,
waving off past’s dark, to meet, yea,
some coming light, a moment before one last tick
reaches into this next year’s tock,
to clock all and receive tall, then
enter sweet new year’s embrace…

I shall don this cusp, with all its trappings,
brief though fey magic may be, that
come the dawn, pronouncements
of good import shall be known to me, and thee;

that these gifted, bare journals
shall consume all curves and carvings of ink;

I shall renew this register, to receive
my cache of beloveds;

then with doggedness, resolve me I
to take bolder steps,
and even more…

visit again my indigenous shores…scatter feed
and seed for birds to come,
that a feather may be shared with love,

pay heed more intently to voices
forever gone;

then hone my own strong, inner song…
and take your hand in mine;

Come soon, dawn, for I shall
have slipped off the dress of cusp
from yesterday’s lesson,
and hold with trust

that this New Year shall forever be,
a time to strive toward poetry.

~*~

Happy New Year, my Friends, and Poets, with a huge Thank You, to Ron.

After the donning the cusp, it is only after everything else has come about that you slip the cusp off and call it a wonderful day toward the morning of the first day of the year of excellence.

Lovely writing, sunshine.

To mimic is a form of praise unless
you have no thoughts of your own
