FOR THE NEW YEAR, by                    
First Line: The turn of the year
Last Line: Of devotion.
Subject(s): Holidays; New Year


The turn of the year
Pulls, like the tide,
From the depths.

May it cast at your feet
Anemone, agate, pearl,
Coral and aquamarine,
Sea-flower, sand of gold,
Iridescence of shell,
Opal of rainbow mist,
Nugget of garnet and green.

When you have gathered these,
You will know the measure I use
When I send you gifts
Of devotion.
