Wrote this six years back....
Still feels fresh in the senses...
Happy New Year 😁
Whatever is new, it should be inside you.
In what you seek and what you do.
In all that came and all that went
In everything that tried to blow off your tent
A tent that you made, with joy in some glade.
A glade that was free, something new that you could see.
Where the space was free for all, there were trees that stood tall.
Remember those trees forever, as they guarded you from the weather.
A weather you could hardly bear, a storm not willing to spare.
The slope was steep, but the trees were rooted deep.
A depth that was defining,
for you to understand the shining.
The sparkling bright shine of the sun,
bright from the time known to none.
Remember the squirrels who told you to keep going on,
for there is no time in this life to stop and mourn.
Because when there is night there shall be a day
That's how nature has defined it's way.
You have to keep walking the road unmatched
Stop worrying about the nuts you couldn't catch.
For there will be a time for sure, when you will find a way ashore.
The right path is your choice though, just walk it easy and let it go.
Remember for sure what the clouds said, this life isn't a feathery bed.
You will find winds and fires around you.
There will be times when there's very meager you can do.
But never give up or lose your hope,
for you should remember there will always be a scope.
A scope that will make you see things,
This scope will tie you with some strings.
These strings will become ropes that's for what they are meant.
These ropes will be long and strengthen your tent.
This tent is your life. Give it your all.
Always try to rise,in stead of worrying about the fall.
Having said that, you must remember.
Time and tides are said to wait never.
The time to come shall pass you by.
But what you do new should give you joy.
A joy, that you have never felt.
A joy for others who have never dealt.
Because with every moment passing on,
Yet another year will be gone.
Then there will be a recurrence of a point.
Where new and old get joint.
For this was the same point, where it all started,
Although only some time has departed.
This is not the time to regret, don't refrain
and rather think about all this again
Because, Whatever is new, it's gotta be inside you
In what you seek and what you do.
In all that came and all that went
In everything that tried to blow off your tent.
