Resolution Poem by Konalli Rajeev Naik

Resolution

The last night of the year
Is alert with air, fire, water
To view the dissolution
Of the past in the gloom

Wine sucked stumbling
Tongue of the night
Is ready to sprinkle
Good cheers to the fresh year.

But the delight, the dance
And the lyrics
Of the sleepless night
Disturb the privacy
Of the hushed moon and stars.

The disturbed moon and the stars
Forward the resolution:
"Let the serene night sleep
And the alert day work
To welcome the new year".
