Looking back was never my way
New dreams drown me
Deeper I go into the sea
Keeping my eyes at the horizon
Swimming was never my sport
Yet I wade into waters
Splashing around for fun
Waves of words comfort me
Flanked by those waves
I smile at the new dawn
Each one brings love and peace
I wish the same for you.

Love the poem, Balroop, particularly the opening hook. And also, “Flanked by those waves, I smile at the new dawn.” And excellent character sketch of an interesting and forward-looking person, and a perfect attitude to carry into the new year. Hope your 2020 is terrific!

Happy New Year, Balroop! I think I have read the word “dawn” in some of your other poetry? A new beginning, possibility, and like you say so beautifully “…eyes at the horizon.” A new year, a new decade. A positive way to move forward. Thank you for beautiful words, Balroop.🙂
Thanks Erica, each dawn brings new hopes, so to me, dawn seems to be a synonym of hope 😊 wishing you a wonderful new year.
I love the line “waves of words comfort me.” I guess that explains well why I
like to write. Happy New Year.
