With the morning sun
Comes these thoughts
Waking into a world unknown
Yet with a lot of expectations
The sun brings cheer into the heart
Brightening the skies and the clouds
The known from the unknown
Yet there is a fear in the mind
The waters shine in the suns reflection
Mirroring the beautiful sky with it
In these waters life resumes
Expectant of the future
The wind kisses the waters
Pushing and shoving in places
The light breeze moving around
As though breathing around the waters
The winds push the fire blazing bright
From the pyres of yesteryears death
Feeding the fire with its freshness
Alive the flames lick the sky
I who am this witness
Watch in sorrow as my past dies
In the flames of knowledge
As this new reference dawns in me
Hopes there are in its millions
But they recede in respect to the elements
That flame the desires of life
In a mind tormented by fate
These thoughts that dawn today
In the flames of hope and fear
I wrought in me the faith
To live this life and endear
May this year bring peace
May there be love in all eyes
May there be success in all endeavours
May the fruits thereof be enjoyed
