With a face set forward
and a face turned back,
I enter the January
to reflect as I bury
a year's days now night-black
as dawn's light draws me toward
the blazing bright ahead
of unformed hours' days
whose challenges I fear,
shrinking backwards from the year
whose dim horizon glows with rays
of opportunity, I dread,
to be forced to confide
my callouses and scars
from the devil-year I knew
to the Light-Maker, You
who fill the velvet void with stars,
and in its blanket let me hide.
