2022 or twenty twenty too?!

So the sun ducks down
Shattered clouds frown
Crimson rays mix with gray
The sky starts the count down

All feather balls are back in nests
Bellies full, they're ready to rest
The restless Venus sparkles again
The Golden Ball is deep in the west

 Another year has come to an end
Wrapping wounds and grieves to mend
Our happy memories brighten the eve
As from the cradle of the Earth Moon ascends

Let's bury all sorrow, all grief begone
Hope sustains the world when fears are gone
Our smiles will beat the darkness tonight
Fire flies in the bushes; no cries no moans

Will the sky be brighter for me and you?
Will the wintry morning be washed anew?
A faint casually cruel doubt quivers my heart
Will the 2022 be twenty twenty too?!
