New Year. Poem by surya surya

New Year.

Rating: 4.9


tomorrow at the dawn, arrives the
new year, while today we stand on
verge of the unknown of its worth.

does the terminally ill get better, do
the poor get richer, save a meal, do
our children pass in flying colors
our sons get a decent job, could we
hope for a decent groom that our
daughters truly deserve? everything
stands as unknown and uncertain! .

year last was not better, rather it was
an year of failure, at best a mixed one,
yet we seek a new year, a new hope.

time always stands for change, from
bad to worse and back to good,
better and best, that reveals a great
truth, change as ultimate truth for all
of us, for fortune travels on a wheel,
even prior to inventing one, and that
leaves us with a hope for change,
oh dear, let us then welcome the
new year for who knows, it might
herald a new change, new hope.

We need not interpret the goodness or badness that a new year is going to bring us. Do we interpret the birth of our children as bad omen or misfortunes? Everybody is happy in one way or the other. Life is an admixture. Everybody is afterall living on hope and expectation. May our hopes come true. Your have brought out all these points in your fine poem. Life is only a problem at the level of interpretation for most of us. Otherwise, life is a swift flow of currents.10
