A New Beginning. A Year Begins. Poem by Ananta Madhavan
A New Beginning. A Year Begins.
Inaugurate what you cannot finish.
To begin anew is hope, to urge you on,
Continually, though you may suspect
The end is not for reaching.
It is not the goal, the prize, the applause
Of friend or fan or foe or rival or unknowns.
The inaugural is all you need -
That is the hope that can't be quenched,
An aspiration, not the finish, or
A line to sprint past, an end,
Accomplished and extinguished.
