Welcome, new Week

Like the early bird singing merry across
the dark skies eagerly awaiting the caress of fresh warmth,
I welcome the new week, rejoicing in the joy
Of pervasive greyness vanishing in a hundred hues of crimson

Like that chirpy one that lets its song glissade
Into wind humming through empty vistas of sorrounding space,
I welcome the new week, letting go bygones,
Into the torrents of time that speeds into the unknown

As mists blown away by cheering breeze, knowing,
When the hour arrives, no illusion can halt progress anymore
I welcome the new week, enraptured in the rapture
Of tender light dancing on velvet ripples of lakes below

Peaks! the earth seems nearer,and plains Oh! earth's
further off; but like the bird, flying undeterred by appearances
I welcome the new week, poised, that, the journey's Ahead-
And Brooding over falls,is just surrendering to the apparent

And like that bird persevering at another attempt
at seeking shelter in the loving embrace of the golden horizon,
I welcome the new week, greeting another chance,
to never return, to forget the false, in remembrance of Truth.
