We awoke to new snow
And plunged into the water,
Simply because the fresh year
Was worthy of some sacrifice.
The sun came out
And the lake was shining.
There were birds drifting
Under the silver sky.
It’s not so bad once you’re in it -
The water, that is, and also the new year.
Even plunging in is not so difficult;
The hard part is deciding
To be the person who does.
