JANUARY
I am JANUARY
I am the gateway to the year
Inaugural ceremony
I’ve got this from here
I am the first to call 'em there
Of Julian and Gregorian
First month on the calendar
Yeah!ffirming monthly historian
I am Janus
God of Beginnings
With two faces
Each smizing fierce giving
Not two-faced as in insincere
But dual-faced as in looking two ways
From this vantage at the start of the year
Looking past and forward in days
I am the howling Wolf Moon
Calling to creatures in the heart
Summoning the resolve to get through
Plan the transformation in parts
I am the Heart of Winter
In the Northern Hemisphere
Across the hottest decade I'm splintered
I can still be the coldest month of the year
I am the renewable energy burning
When the hottest years are assessed
Amid the world and stars turning
I am Capricorn to Aquarius
I am time for overhaul
Anointed annual anew-el
I am in the season of snowfall
With the spirit of renewal
I am resolutions Intended
I am determinations to change
Achieved from having attempted
Keeping at it through till at it again
I am cold but not frozen
Sober and clear eyed
With eleven months to go in
I am starting the year right.
