(30) Welcome New YEAR

                                      

                                                                               

I tried to see him in darkness,

 Shivering in cold breeze,

Opened the door at the knock-

And greeted him-'welcome please'

He was bright new YEAR,

Who entered my dwelling- place,

The radiance of divine light,

Was shining on his face.

He promised me all heaven,

To follow him behind-

All happiness, pleasure and joy,

Golden moments, that I rewind.

Terror, hatred, grief, and sorrow,

Calamities of wide range,

He assured to rub- off; only one question,

“ Can yourself in you, will change?”

I ignored that silly question,

Changing oneself is not a game,

If new year is just change of digits-

Is old and new year - THE SAME?
