Welcome 2017

What is there inside the about- to- blossom bud 
Plenty of light and some dark obviously for us
Or nuclear horror as  Donald has thundered?
Whatever, I do look up to your soft green grass
Through the two deja vu purple window glass

In pink expectation we live this rainbow life
In expectation we look for a door and a window 
In expectation the bee hums from flowers to the hive 
Will the bud unfold towards a happiness crescendo
Or circumstantially we will be in a puzzling limbo

Let us welcome the new year two thousand seventeen 
For an end of something and for others a beginning
Some poems to write off and some others to take up
Towards humanity improve our mental makeup 
Towards the morning that would give us our teacup

Without elimination no purple invigoration
Goodbye sixteen that has spent all its green
Apples and oranges in colors of seventeen
Birds by the window in their voices umpteen
Standing in the juncture calls the future dream 

Let us respond by saying we are ready too
In the tarmac of time holding hands me and you
