Waiting for midnight ...

I shall wear the New Year like a cloak of yellow feathers - 

I shall wait for midnight before a slow burning fire - 

Anne will sing sorrowful yet beautiful songs - 

There will be golden apples upon the ancient tree - 

Jewelled birds will sing upon its lichened branches - 

Ageless stories will be written upon the sky -

A watch which tells a different time will be placed around my wrist -
