Analysis of Crystal Countdown



How much more?
How many New Years
will be counted
by the crystal chime,
Will there be enough,
for me to proclaim:
It's done on time!

About this poem

With each resonating note of the crystal chalice, I question if their count will suffice for the momentous declaration: "Done!". Will the goal be achieved?
