october

I remember the night-
Crackers sounding all over
The dark sky lit up
Blue, red, green, orange;
Celebration all around.
Alone in a cab,
A new city to  negotiate
A fresh start.

Now I wonder
Was it a welcome?
Or a foretelling of years
Full of noise and pain,
With occasional bright spots?

  1. I like the second verse:) The last three lines seem like a definition of life itself.... Although life would be rather gloomy if there were only occasional bright spots......:)

  2. I like your perspective, thanks... I agree, if only occasional bright spots are there, life would indeed be very difficult to handle. I'll try and add another verse to it...
