2011's Setting Sun


it was in the glamour of the setting sun
colors calming
light enlivening
a year coming to an end

she opened to absorb all the colors of a passing year
spheres of insight rose within and around her
2012 a new beginning 

she will bring her heart fully
as she steps gently 
yet deeply
wings rising
vision flowing
and growing
for peace love and freedom
for all
welcome 2012

this week i am posting for two lovely prompts and ways of sharing
simply to say: 

Lovely New Year to all my art and ethereal blog world friends!
