Early on a winter morning
The darkness, the stillness, the silence
Dawn chorus is yet to break
I tread softly to lessen the disturbance
Street lamps cast eerie glows midst
Blurry long shadows of bushes and trees
My Mini is asleep covered in frost
Under a thinly veiled blanket in the freeze
I prod her gently, she awakens
With a hum and a slow yawn
In the distance a train rumbles
London is waking up to another morn
‘Tis the start of another day,
Another month, year and decade
Twentieth year into the new millennia
The past is gone and in the shade
The future awaits with bated breath
Hope It brings with it joy and cheer
For you and your kin
Happy New Year
From Chitra and family
