WORD STREAM : New Year

FAREWEL

************

*

So you are going, dear old year?

Of love, war, hope, hatred, dusk and dawn,

With the heap of sweet and sour memories,

Shouting humanity ,brotherhood,  and massacre plan.

*************************************

WELCOME 

***************

*

First ray of light, kindly kiss our eyes,

Enlighten the solemn path, where we go,

Bestow all boons, all virtues, on us,

Shower the rain of humanity, to form rainbow.

WORD STREAM (6) Rainbow

     WORD STREAM (6) Rainbow

**************** 

A rain drop rests on a leaf,
Dances on the tune of sun-ray,
And stains the beam kissing it,
At dawn of a rainy day.

The night is slowly departing
Rainbow gives it a farewell,
Seven colours shield the drop,
Not to touch it, not to tell.

Violet gives it the strength,
 Indigo feeds the courage,
Blue creates the valour,
Which fills it with rage.

Green gives the notion of love,
Yellow pacifies the tension,
Orange makes it to jump,
Red fills the drop with passion.

The drop is laying idle,
Rainbow gives it a life,
It breaths with vigour,
And turns fully alive.

Then it rolls from the leaf,
Colour strings try to check and revive,
Alas! Colours are faded at once,
It drops down with a dive.

Rainbow colours come in life,
Like the hide and seek game,
The time-wheel moves intact,
Eternal white beam fades the same.
