Cusp

A New Year’s Eve Poem

© 2014 - 2018 by Joyce Mason

 Winding down:

quiet as snow falling

Calendar switching

hushed as a church

before midnight

Darkness

awaits

dawn

A patient lover

at the train station 

of tomorrow.

New Year’s cusp:

no party

champagne

streamers

confetti

Kissing only Change

at midnight

Tenderness

relishing the pure

white landscape

of infinite possibility.
