Hello everyone, I hope you’ve all had an amazing holiday period and that you enjoy the rest of this year and let go of everything that’s been holding you back so that you’re able to throw yourself fully into the new year ahead.

I’m sharing a poem with you today, and the inspiration for this one came from a dream I had. I hope you enjoy it.

The Forest at the End of the Year

The winter forest comes alive
With the magic of falling snow
The slumbering trees creak and groan
Blanketed in its glittering glow

Moonlight warms the chilly ground
And the night creatures come out to play
Truces are sought, temporarily
In a marvellous display

The owls give up the chase of mice
Anxious hedgehogs relax their stance
The foxes and the badgers mingle
And the fireflies start to dance

Only once, at the end of the year
Does this harmony descend
As the creatures come together
To watch the old year end

Then once the night gives in to day
The armistice is no more
The world resets, another year
And the animals resume their war

As always, thank you for reading my words, I appreciate it immeasurably.

Until next time,

George
