Farewell, Auld Lang Syne

gently
large, white flakes fall from a gray-white sky
sprinkling fairy-dust as the minutes go by

coating the land with a layer of white
washing from view remnants of dust,
rust, autumn’s crust

chill seeps through the glass
as yellow dog investigates the grass
licking, sniffing, tip-toeing with his paws

pauses a moment as if frozen in time
then lays a big one there in the rime

and I
taken aback with my lack of premonition
as I suffer the day in a pondering condition
contemplating the passing of the final hours of the year
when the night will bend and fold away the past
then commence the new of two-thousand-two

somewhere the stars twinkle a farewell to contrived hours,
days, months and the year
as we give way to hope edged with a tiny bit of fear
what will it hold, this new one ahead,
dare we plan for no tragedies,
dare we hope for no dread

dare we cling to a tiny thread
of expectation, of promise,
that wherever we are brought
He is there and will bring us through
in His perfected will? We must, surely, we must...TRUST.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

*still laughing!*

Ahhh, your line about the dog laying "a big one... in the rime" took me by surprise and made me laugh out loud.

Thanks...
