Bring on the New Year+1

Bring on the New Year! A magical moment
Bring on the hope to absorb today’s torment.

Everyday is new, but it doesn’t feel that way,
passes as a routine no resolutions on to sway.

Days, months, pass; year approaches to end;
time goes on non-stop, regardless of append.

Tomorrow will always be there for us to see
but yesterday is lost for ever, never will it be,

Today is here, what one can achieve, be now
play the cards dealt in life, with care, is how.

New year’s dreaming is like hoping
for a betterment or a new beginning.
Otherwise the dreams are very usual
as subliminal mind creates them all.
It’s always about hopes unfulfilled,
desires of growth or wealth included.
Dreaming sure is a sign of living life
even when challenged by huge strife.
The dreams without efforts are vain,
as hoping high is invitation to pain.
