Let Love Be The Way Tanka.

Goldfinch60



Well the New Year’s here

The old one now departed

Now let’s live in peace

May the wars in the world cease

And let love be the new way.

    Good write Gold.
    Sometimes a bit like that tomorrow/yesterday/today thingy. Tomorrow is the yesterday...... oh, you knows it. lol.
    Hope we feel the old year was good too, or else we're continually wishing it happy when a new year starts, then bidding it good riddance when it ends! Doh!
    How have the past millions of years been for us two?

      Thanks Orchi.
      The past millions of years for us have been very intriguing and we are still here.

        Doh! I still forget (on purpose?) that 'Tomorrow is the yesterday........' thingy, even after millions of years!

        This year will be worse than the last but much better than the next ...

          Each New Year is what WE make it in our own lives Lorenz and I know mine will be good.

          That last line is simple yet so impactful. “Let love be the new way.” Indeed, wars both internal and external act as roadblocks to our progress. So this poem speaks volumes in regard to its application, we should all embrace a loving spirit.
