New Year

So it's New year
I wonder how 
all I remember
all I can think of 
is the last New year
which is now old
Yet I remember
the freshness 
it withholds
deep in the layers of my mind
the strong will in a city blind
I was penniless
had no contacts
but a wish and will
to establish myself
out on my own
with no references
in a new city
with new fences
So I chilled 
skipping my exam 
and came to Bangalore
with a bag and lines on hand
and I managed three jobs
in 15 days
and I went home
only to return
in few days
There I was ready
to set up a new life
there I saw 
grown up life
far off from child
I lived it all
experienced fall
I saw crazy humans
who fight for fun
As many cases I opened
all I closed
or maybe 
it all happened
with me all exposed
to those waves of a storm
with peace at it's core
I build a world
there afore
and in no time
the year passed
thousands of memories
blown apart
and I wonder
why it was only yesterday
that I came to this city
that I began my first day
that it's yesterday 
that I opened my eyes
in a train
to realize
'Now I am on my own
Now it's my turn.'
An year has passed
I feel 
I am still 
at the same spot
only a lifetime
has passed
in between 
the new cast
One month
and another closure
to a new city
new exposure
I wonder
what next year 
has in store
Isn't it a gyre
of before and afore
coz it all seems the same
different platform
same game
and yet
theatre is life
and yet
I don't have to survive
coz life means to live
every moment 
every rift
and I gonna dive in deep
to the core of the ocean
to the cosmic sweep.
