This New Year

May blood vessels of affection amalgamate within! And nucleus of compassion, like a fish and its bin… Enabling ethical thoughts and words, and deeds coruscate, Like sparks of virtues from fires of wisdom permeate...! May evils that muddy the pools of purity give way, To the crystal clear stream of goodness that would come to stay! Wars and woes like cruel beasts before wildfire flee away, Peace, like the rhythm of the universe, hearts, and minds, sway...! When friendship by hatred is broken, may mercy flow in! Bombs, cannons and missiles turn plows and people's hearts win; May anything that leads the common human folks to sin, Like husks and chaffs turn ashes in the fire of God's grin...! Acceptance in place of rejection, may miracles bring! Optimism in lieu of pessimism all evil views fling; May discontentment, weakness, ingratitude, and sadness, Bloom, this entire year, into bouquets of true happiness...!!! 01 January 2023
