a stormy start but think about it as a reading of the Shipping Forecast, which soon lulls away bad thoughts:
There are warnings of gales in Rockall,
Malin, Hebrides, Bailey, and Fair Isle,
Dogger, Fisher, Forties, and Forth are fine,
so too Sole, Cromarty and Tyne,
Humber, Thames and Shannon;
Wight, Lundy, Faeroes, Portland and Hebrides
face precipitation,
as do South-East Iceland, Utsire and German Bight;
while Dover and Plymouth,
Rockall and Fastnet, sigh a late night lullaby,
Rockall and Fastnet, sigh a late night lullaby,
and after the lullaby it is safe to sleep and dream and listen to Samuel Barber…
and to hold all other thoughts inward and close…
while we hope that our goodwill and good intentions spread far and wide;
happy 2014, it can only promise more than the year past,
which was what it was, what it was, what it was, what is was… as it will always be,
but it can always be better, always be, always…
happy new year...
