A new year!

Another year turns to mist

With its ups and downs

Tragedies and triumphs

The sun sets amidst the doleful dusk

Darkness falls and

The clock approaches the midnight hour

We gather to celebrate

To welcome the new one

Full of promises like the last many

We are optimists by nature

Think things will change

Become better…

And then the day dawns

The sun shines; the clouds gather and rain falls

The moon waxes and wanes

Moments flutter, fibrillate

Between joys and pain

Life goes on

We are the wayfarers

Following prearranged constellations

Of our destiny

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The new year starts with a bang across the world, my thoughts are with those who lost a lot this year specially with those back home in Pakistan and then all over the world. I have come to a stage where new year is just another change in the date on the calender, however I pray for all those that I know and those I dont, May ALLAH keep them safe and grant them a happy and prosperous year, ameen
