New Year's Eve

Every year past Decembers

Cold and windy months

I created moment by moment

revelries for others

While all the while

As the euphoria of countdown settles

I was dreaming to be

with loved ones

This year I do not want the fanfare

I long for the quiet moment

Of deep content and giddy happiness

bubbling inside

Happy New Year, friends and fellow travelers of the blogosphere !

I shall no longer be like the candle in the wind, creating glamour and radiance for others but not for those closest to my heart.

Drowning

To the desert man
Nothing is more incomprehensible
Than the fear of drowning

In a vast ocean of water

He would rather stay grounded
On the shore
And retain his sanity

Than flee to safety.

A burst of sunlight

Often

Drudgery weighs you down
Nothing seems to be right

Coupled with trudgery
Life, a vicious cycle

A series of misfortune

Chin up and look around
Look for the light

At the end of the tunnel
Around the bend

A burst of sunshine awaits you.
