I tried to see 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?
