Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 1 January 2025
As the wing of the new year begins to spread everywhere,
I start to sleep with dreams of endless desires.
The wintry night is
adorned with hues of snow!
With the last page of the remaining year,
I calmly count the memories saved in the chest of time!
While burying the sins of the yesteryear,
I burn the secrets between me and 2024!
I firmly stand to hold the resolutions.
The falling leaves of a dying tree
signal the arrival of a new season…
Like an artist in a spell,
I try to rewind the moments of my loved ones.
So many years passed away
With memorable sojourns
In the womb of eternity!
So many stories became history…
Let the curtain of the last act fall into the deep night of this season,
Let’s pause before we step
into a world of new goals.
In the myriad shades of last year,
I am not going to count
The loss and gains of my life!
Like the ebb and flow,
One must accept
The rise and fall…
For shining bright
in the New Year’s sun,
I’ll no more mourn
for the things unknown!
With the New Year’s bells
I wish the loved ones
far and near:
A happy new year!!!
