It is a celebration for a journey around the
sun, a journey fraught with cold and ice and
searing summer squalls. At times it is quite
unbearable the distance far too long,
but in the end the ones I love get me
through the cold and heat, the very same trip
I go on every year; yet every year
seems closer to the very centre of
the sun. The next journey could be my last
as the end for me draws near, but please say
hi to those I love, starting out this very year.
