Silk-Wrapped Wishes Poem by Indranil Bit

Silk-Wrapped Wishes

Rating: 4.5


Three days what merely is;
Before the new year begins,
Everywhere is painted new!
And the air flutes still spring.

Décor with the best one on!
Leave no stone hide in moss;
Laden the air with hue so dear;
Up n here, Let’s welcome an year.

How lovely more can you welcome!
A new life perhaps, a charm-filled lass?
So God sends you as the feather in décor.
Lit a tallow taper, Trophy up a new you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Composed on occasion of new year (mid-April in parts of India)

(A short referential explanation…)
• Hardly three days left before the new year celebration eve in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bangladesh, Punjab, Canada and even in parts of United Kingdom.
It is still spring in the air and we all clean and paint our surroundings normally this time. Nature also paints itself with the Spring bosoms.
• An invitation to decorate with the best, one can afford. Let the gala be in the air, let it be heavy with mesmerizing smells.
• The new year and its’ beauty is personified as a charming lady who just got a new life, a chance for a new beginning.
It is never late to get started. So Imagine yourself as the feather to décor the God / your surrounding or the Creation as a whole.
Imagine yourself as the tallow taper (a thick candle made of seal-fat that burns longer, brighter and warmer) being lit. Your conscience for a better cause will not go unfruitful / be in vain. It will trophy you up.
