New Year
Athough you were near me
I was looking for you
Behind the trees,
In the paddy fields,
By the village pond's shore
Where long ago
The pond shimmered.
Then with gentle steps
You came to fetch water
Old melodies receded,
leaving no records behind.
Witnesses of your
former charm have disappeared.
How quickly time flew ,
how much the atmosphere
has changed .
Yet, hope persists in me.
Promise of the new days
in this old age
remains in my mind.
