Said The New Year To Old…

Against me, against my soul, And with no will I play a role— A role to me by time lent To look somewhat innocent, Feeling filled to brim with hope Even if there is no scope, To try and appear fresh Ready to take a daring dash… Look, I aught look a New Year, Though there's nothing new, I'm clear, Said to me Twenty Nineteen That has just been. ______________________________________ There is little new about the year that dawns on 1st January, an arbitrary cut off point in space-time continuum. But man is fond of using set clichés, as this little ditty tries to tell us. ____________________________________________ Reflections | 45.01.2019 | Topic: Christmas, New Year
