In Between Year's Conversation Poem by Omega Morgenstern

In Between Year's Conversation



Old man looked up from his grave
Hearing soft footsteps on the snow
Knowing that he could not be saved
So turned around, and bendt to bow.

His blind eyes reached a golden light
Coming from a young woman's hands,
Her skin shone pink and her eyes bright,
Her purple fingers around his arm.

She sang aloud her name, Hope
To what the man answered with laugh.
'Be careful, young girl' said Woe
'Others before you changed oaths'

For there was Chaos, after Insane,
All of them named Hope by humans
But after few months drowned in death,
And never followed their commands.

Not believing any of the said words
Hope's grip on the man tighten a bit,
And we could see true fear in Woe
As Hope reached his heart slowly

'Time to go,2022,
Your reign is over, now it's mine'
Said Hope now glowing white and blue
'And you know at twelve i must start'.

And with the full strenght of a blow
Woe found himself in his grave
His bones had turned to ash and dust
As at midnight stroke New Year's Eve.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This came to me after my third glass of champagne during New Year's Eve. This kind of vision of 2022 as an old man, spiteful yet tired, dying to let a new year in, with the full strengh of hope.
