The Doom

A stone thrown out in the water,

Making ripples, it strides,

Circling around, lashing the shore,

In the end down the water, hides.

Sun shining brightly over the water,

Emerging from its place of rest,

A flower blooms, blushes in the sun,

In hope to experience life's best.

Air provided the comforting cushion,

With water which acted like a bed,

Provided warmth with the huge mighty ball,

With love and affection the flower fed.

New life set out in front of its eyes,

Opened its wings, tender and weak,

Blissfully taking in the melody of the world,

When, emerged the stone, playing hide and seek.

Free from the clutches of the sand,

Jumping around, the stone rejoiced,

Stretched its arms, lurking about the water,

Approached the flower with the devil in its eyes.

The flower saw it and trembled with fear,

Its veins went cold, its face turned white,

The stone came winking and without a second thought,

It turned on the flower with all its might.

The blue was horrified, the sphere was startled,

Having fed the blossom, the two could feel the pain,

Tried to prevent the flower getting crushed,

They tried their best- but all in vain.

The petals shrivelled, the stem crumbled,

The leaves fell down as in an October morn,

The beauty evanesced, the fragrance dissolved,

It slept forever before the beginning of the dawn.

There on the water, washed by the waves,

Cold and dead it lay,

The sea mourned, the star lamented,

At the end of a bud that had come not to stay.

A New Year

As the black turned to become a crimson hue,

The sphere shook off its sleep to evaporate the dew,

The birds sang in the freeze the sweetest song,

To mark the arrival of the day awaited for long.

The decade that was filled with sorrows and glee,

Is cold and gone- no more of it to see,

A fresh decade is knocking at the door today,

With its bag full of surprises, with a brighter sun's ray.

Come, let's greet this day with the smile in the eye,

With the heart filled with passion, with the heads held high,

Let us rejoice in the delight of a new awakening,

With a faith for the best, let the wish get its wing.

The dead year that marked the beginning of a celebration,

When we experienced life's most significant transformation,

Has lost its existence, it had not come to stay,

Time flew so fast and thus the year passed away.

It left behind the knowledge to learn things from,

To tread on with courage, to sing your own song,

To accept every challenge that life throws your way,

And emerge as a winner, come what may.

Paving the path to the prosperous peaceful palace,

To realize the dreams and win the race,

Here commences the dawn of a year yet again,

With the dusk of a decade and a new year's rain.

It's a new hope with a silver lining,

It's a new joy in the fresh morning,

It's time for a new spirit forgetting every fear,

It's time for the beginning of a new year!
