Chaste mind reminisce fresh memories of twelve months
Last two days before bidding adieu to some and carrying most of them along
Echoes chant in the mind when hopes are birthed from new beginnings
Translucent waves of thoughts drifts across the mind’s landscape
Of winter days when nights become sharper, yet dreams of pastures green appear
Wanting to touch the golden rays of hope snuggling in winter’s lap
Cold whispers are not that dreary for they bring plans from awaiting future
Celestial glow and stars casts a spell on the one who ponders deeply
Different experiences and diverse roads travelled through calendar months
Pages narrate different tales before the covers restore the special moments
Between shrilly chants and soothing voices, night becomes dense
Its few hours more before the slumberous soul wakes up to a different dawn
Embracing the memories and waiting for the rays to guide a new journey©
My best wishes to everyone for a wonderful New Year, 2017
