Dawn of New Year (2009)

From my old blog ….I wrote this on December 31, 2008 🙂  …. Ah ….nostalgia….

———————————————————————————————————————

I lie down on the green grass and stare at the sky,
It’s a calm night with shining starts and bright moon.
I think about the year just passed by,
The moments filled with joy,passion, anger and gloom.
One more year of hopes, achievements, failure and losses,
One more year of resolutions, learning,
One more year of memories with the dear ones,
One more year of exploring unfamiliar things,
Meeting new people, getting closer to new relations,
Going far from some memories, closing some doors.
Defining the horizon with newly discovered perceptions,
Painting the faded,stained walls with new shining colors,
Laughing and crying with joy and sorrow of world,
Searching my identity in the ocean of crowd.
Living the life with different moods at different times,
Spending time with experience of other people,
Everything is as usual as other years.
Suddenly I realize I’m alone under the stars,
I reached somewhere far from the crowd,
Looking back at the crowd in which everybody seems to be busy,
Pursuing one’s desires, happiness and destiny.
And then I think what I have earned after years of transitions,
So many things earned so many things lost,
With net worth same to what it was at the time I was born.
So, practically I’m at the same place where I was at the beginning,
With an exception of experience I got through the many years,
And yet to gain more in coming years.
I know the coming year is also going to be of same net worth at the end,
However, there is certain affinity with the life which keeps me greedy,
For the coming year;
And keeps me going on with lot of hopes,
To welcome the experiences I am going to gain.
A big noise suddenly starts and I see mob celebrating somewhere far,
The first day of new year has begun.
I look at the crowd – busy in welcoming the new year,
I think for a moment and then join the crowd,
I get dissolved in the ocean of crowd again,
To welcome the dawn of new year.
