It's in the taste of winter on our lips
The fragrance of the season
Tantalizing our nostrils to reminisce
The longing of childhood memories
Unlocked by wistful heart pulls

A time for wishing upon the stars
A time for sharing with loved ones
A time for spreading kindness
A time for splashing goodness

Smiles from years past
Relieved only during this season
A feeling felt solely
At this time of the year
The curtain call of the year
As the New Year lurks around
When we are one with the wind
That forecloses a season
Intertwiningly
Unfurling a pristine one
Feel the shift in the wind
It is time for the seasonal greeting
"Happy New Year"
