Hoary Head Muses Cool! Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

the outgoing year
renders the diary
the calender
as disused as any
lately retired piece
of furniture!

now on the threshold
of a fresh newcomer
a naive optimist
may love to embark on
a daring quest for a mare`s nest!
a veteran sailor
prepares for another voyage
in a very different exponent way!

let the breakers roar
the cruel waves lash hard
or may the sea look too calm
a cozy bed with many an amiable foam
who knows what is in store?
under the water or the safest shore?
better loin the cloth
and tighten the jaws
for only tomorrow knows
the tomorrow the best!
may the lot visit and lazily rest!
