A New Hope

Straddling waves, changing tides
Turbulent sea, bumpy ride
Still, the anchor holds
To destination progress 

Wake up and smell the morning
It's the dawn of a new day 
Clear blue sky, bright new morn
Sun smiling in sweet splendour 

The aroma of a fresh hope
Greets the nose with lingering incense
Savour the dish
Dine and be full
Life is what we make of it

Arm yourself with knowledge and truth 
Harm ignorance and falsehood
Salt and sugar look alike but
Taste different 
Come with nothing
Fight for everything
Return with spoils

Like the spreading ripples 
At the drop of a pebble
Life is but a riddle
