Riding a broom
around my home
sliding around the corners
starting the new year alone
Smoothly landing
cleaning each room
sweeping out all negative things
anything that threatened doom
Out the door
went the despair
no more crying
this year a life to repair
Next out the door
went everything bitter
a new year now
sun reflecting ice like glitter
Finally out the door
went the anger and fear
time to release it all
love is near
Sun shines brightly
my spirit is cleaned
winter birds sing in joy
life has been redeemed
