New Year Is Not New Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

New Year Is Not New

Rating: 5.0


New Year
fair body of time

New Year
not every single moment is fair

old
crawling forward
to get a life

on resolution
a new diary
with a lotus stick

saint to devil,
evil to wise,
night to day,
winter to spring,
cold to sun-rising,
everything greets new year
oh; not newly
but by the old mauve in new urn

changing attire
never can change the authentic inside

changing resolution diary
never can change the inside intimacy

evil
soars by own wings
to taste the time newly

saint
flutters by own wings
to taste the time newly

new time never finds new taste
by new costume old becomes new guest!

Time never changes, world does. Time is seamless continuum. There is no new year, nor old, we get old. Yes, New Year Is Not New
