A Poignant Welcome: 2021

Tick Tock! Tick Tock!

The chimes of the clock 

At the stroke of midnight 

Poignantly welcomes New Year.

On a state of tabula rasa;

A clean slate altogether 

I will be writing 

To my reader’s delight;

Something new and something afresh.

It had been an unmooring year;

Lost on an island

Of frailty and precarity;

I had unfailingly watered;

All my flowering plants

Of relationships

With abundant love and faith;

Still some breathed it’s last

For it stood on arid earth.

My vessel is buffeted:

By the constant battering 

Of life’s dicey storms;

Now I will be boarding another ship

With a heavy melancholic heart;

‘Cause some may not be able 

To come along with me further.

Yet my writer’s mind;

Will carry the fragrance of their 

bitter sweet memories.

Life chooses me

Rather than I choose life.

I need to exist...

Taking an exploratory leap 

On a fertile terrain;

With new patterns and rhythms of life;

A whole new set of possibilities.

Parting most certainly 

becomes more appallingly beautiful;

When alibied 

By the notion of: “A Brand New Vision”
