will you come again

rain or shine
snow or sleet
you always greet me
every year
without fail

when i was a child
your arrival meant
an oil bath
(eyes burning with shikai)
new clothes
paayasam
umpteen prostrations
and heart-felt blessings

later
much later
your arrival meant
hope
promise
happy times
loud music
champagne
ever-lasting feeling of youth
and countless dreams

in the last few years
your arrival meant
contentment
anxiety
regret
and resignation

sometimes
i do worry
is it the last time
you're greeting me
will you come again
or not
the next year

please do come
every year
you're welcome
very welcome
like the sunlight
in the wintry world
thank you
