I Am Sure Much Time Is Left For That! Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

I Am Sure Much Time Is Left For That!



It is January asking me
'Any resolutions'?
And I am a bit shy but say,
'Not yet during your cold stay'?

He thinks I am a plodder
But I have often blundered in my haste.
February will soon come and will like to tell me
'You are the same, thank you pal'.

The frost and mist of December and January
Will soon be buried I know.
The breeze of months in waiting
Will soon blow across my abode.

But I am still shy and would like to ask myself
'Why I could not have a resolution for this month? '
The moon cracking across the far sky
Laughs us at me often -she has her own resolutions perhaps!

I light a candle and venture to see my inside
And a little more cleaning is needed I realise.
I too want to thaw my thoughts dark.
Perhaps my candle can burn ahead till 2015 comes!

The bad rivers may still run towards a sea too
And they are my freaks of dread leading to an inexplicable gloom
The streams of fancies have never raged across my mind
But there is yet a flood of what should not have been there ever!

I'll cry for sometime on a fine day this January
Before the sunrise breaks in for February
And slowly my clearer eyes will see for a resolution next.
I am sure much time is left for that.

I light a candle and venture to see my inside And a little more cleaning is needed I realise. Birth of a resolution is nicely narrated. Resolution has not born yet. Beautiful poem.

The frost is getting thawed....! It is a positive sign. Yea, you needn't rush to take new resolutions! Nevertheless you have lighted a candle! With you, we also hope to see it burning steady without it being blotted out by adverse winds! Remember, a candle can illumine the surroundings! A really great write!

January is animated here by a lively discourse despite the cold stay...some very good lines are found there...all of us are represented here, with a li'l thoughtful procrastination on our part that is not unnatural i think! ! !
