New Year's Midas Touch
New Year's Midas Touch
You have the Midas touch in 2016!
My antennas stood up, my neck did preen
Like I had swallowed centre shock
My two lamps glistened and head did rock
I sucked in a deep breath allowing my thoughts to brew
Asked my palmist friend if it was really true
She smiled and told me to wait till the year ends
My stars are going through favourable bends
But I had started sensing it sieve
A fortnight before new year's eve
The obstacles in personal life had kept me in a sway
Were miraculously being blown away
Expedited with unusual unexpected ease
My tensed nerves were tranquilly on a cease
Or was it meditation that had wizened me?
Eureka! Wherever life would lead me!
Destiny and fate dances with the wind
It lifted dad in its arms to far away land
Tears rolled down streams of migration
Into my heart for permanent felicitation
His love for flora was observed with ardour
His nursery of winter flowers blooms in my arbour
Comfort zones of dependency snipped away
Emotional independence opened a new doorway
Past is frosty, new year's beginning is interesting
Eureka! The Midas Touch on my palms say something!
