As the clocks tick twelve The old dissolves. A chapter is closed, mystery evolves
Shots in the sky I hear Piercing through the dying year Weak and tired it bled in memory ounces Blood of grey Tears of gloom It ate our flesh and sipped out blood
But wait, I can see a child crawl from its beneath Carrying a smile of gold A future in bold A new year is born
Its breath filled the grey with gay The gloom with boom
Our heart with hope And our mind with gladness
A new year is born Dreams beyond dreams I have dripping upon the blank white
Hoping in enthusiasm It all becomes real
The past is passing A new life is casting
I hope I see the light This new child gleams
I hope I experience the new day The new life
The new hope.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
The poet expresses the joy and anticipation of the new year and all the dreams that he expects to come alive in reality. He attributes the previous year as gloomy and dark but despite its darkness it bore a child of light. Hoping that the new year doesn't usurp darkness we gladly wait for the gift it holds.
