OLD INTO NEW.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Old Into New.

 

From year to year sprouts flower from seed,
from sun comes growth's need, 
from earth ripened yield,
freshness from sleeping 
leaf-shed provides feed for earliest green.

 

From womb's ash bursts life from burnt fire,
from mist dawns blue sky, 
from roots spurt bud-rise ,
fullness from binding 
long rest forces urge for trying next climb.

 

From cold warmth blows into time again, 
from haze clearer days 
from inertia zeal gyrates,
richness from making 
old into new blesses the birthing of 2018.

 

HERE'S WISHING MY DEAR FRIENDS 
A GREAT YEAR AHEAD.

    A fine write Fay. happy New Year to you too. This seems like a hymn-poem, but with a metre of 9.5.5.5.10. or almost that. I don't know any hymns with this metre, from my 'repertoire'!
    All are glad then - they won't me me singing! heehee.

    Love your poem, Fay! Now, if that 'old into new' would apply to us too, that would be great!
    Happy New Year, good health, may your pen keep moving!
