New Year Eve

 

 


 

New  Year Eve,

End of December, New Year’s Eve,

Crackers  blow, majestic in front and back

of houses  and  multi storied apartments,

 Convivial mirth ringing aloud.

 

Joining hands with church peal.

Augury of undoing all  that

is abominably mad, painfully sad,

into  a lawn of greenery and opulent.

 

 All  faces hiding how much of sorrow

  Yet,  tapping the stick of optimism

  bold on the streets  of  angst and  tension             

 writ large  for years  not obliterated;

 

bright in the morn early and near

 all faces wishing with cakes and drinks

joy and smile welcoming all passersby

crackers sound and bound beyond walls.

 

Hope  beckons every household

Like babe’s smile when lullaby on air

betokens with an aura  of positive move.

December goes but  with a  nod

 

Weep no more, for in the rustle

Of wind and sweep, there is pot of luck.
