   Hi Shawn,

   Here is my response:

   New Years Eve

   Short gray day
   The sun, a distant silver disk
   Low in the sky.
   Long night
   Silver decorations
   Drive the dark away
   Time for new beginnings
   Sorting threw the Christmas cards
   Taking the time
   Reflecting on the lives of friends and relatives
   Sorting into piles.
   Who to let go and who to keep
   Time for new beginnings
   Without Josh
   Should old acquaintance be forgot
