Welcome New Year 2017 Poem by Bharati Nayak

Welcome New Year 2017

Rating: 4.3


Oh New Year
You are coming
step by step
In the morning light
You are descending
On the golden carpet
Of tiny dusts
Springing blessings
See, how
For your welcome
Earth is decked in beauty
Life is buzzing in ecstasy
See, how
On the green branch of a tree
A bud shivers
in sheer joy
Of expectant bloom
I pray
Before the Almighty
To write
In your blank pages
For this earth
All good fortune.

We all welcome a new year with a lot of expectations and see off it with a lot of frustrations.

I agree with your other readers below: this is a fresh, affirmative New Year poem, opening the next twelve months to the most positive view of the time all of us will share. What struck me strongly was the absence of egoism: you do not write about your resolutions, your needs. Throughout the poem you want best possible events for the whole - all of us who are celebrating this beginning. And the prayer ending it, which moved Susan to pray with you, also shows a faith in larger forces than just us. In a sense, what you are asking for has already been achieved - in your pure heart and the equally pure hearts of this who share your point of view and poetic vision. Count me in that company!
