"The old order changeth
yielding place to the new,
when I remember this childhood line
from my school days ,
now in my mature years
I ask, what is new?
If tomorrow is new
today gets old by midnight
what order do they talk about?
I am new every moment
my new sun rises in the new sky
when I open my new eye at the
new dew soaked hour.
What I read is new
What I write is new
What I remember is the new moment
What I forgot was also new one day.
Life means memories
which I make
fighting nightmares
I make my dreams
new and fresh.
My mirror is always new
shows me my new face
aging in grace yet youthful and divine.
I am my own divinity
I have no profane desires
what I wish I don't get
but my wish never gets old
for I wish simple love
simple lines of divine truth
and a simple fare
in the arms of love:
Always new like a dove
soaring the new sky.
