Each bitter tear, you made us shed, Old Year,
With
A sweet smile, we implore Time to replace,
The coming New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE
MAY THE LORD KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND HAPPY!
My Lord, I know how delayed my coming to you is
For that, Your mercy, with all my heart I implore
The gates of Your luminous dominion to open
So as my soul lingers in darkness no MORE!

My Lord,
I pray to You,
You, who are my eternal stalactite,
Imploring Your divine essence
To let Your precious drops of
Wisdom,
Upon my craving for knowledge soul,
One after the other, to fall
For
My earthly stalagmite,
With the passing of time,
Layer after layer of experience and learning,
Towards
Your heavenly heights to
Rise
Thus
One blessed day,
Your celestial truth better to understand
So
I to walk with faith onto your path of light,
Erring no more!

Oh, my Lord,
Is there a time in Your divine plans:
That righteous hearts, mutinous will become
For
The injustices of this tormented world, to
Chase away?
That love and compassion will join forces
For
To overcome indifference and hate?
That tears of pain and desperation will end
For
Laughter and hope to have their say?
That the present enemies stop fighting each-other
For
To give themselves the chance friends to become?
That peace will reign all over Your dominion,
For
Finally, united this world to be?
If the answer is, YES, my Lord,
I implore You:
Let this time TODAY start and let it last for
All ETERNITY!

Oh mother Nature
you that were born out of the conglomeration of
unbounded energy into matter
under
the auspices of paramount universal Logos
that the harmonious coexistence of opposite forces have
established
by
artfully choreographing their coexistence with the help
of the infallible divine Will
and
were painstakingly interwoven, with the assistance of
mighty space and time,
we humans,
having realized our abominable crimes against you, divine mother,
thus
on our knees we implore your forgiveness
for
our ignorance and our greediness that have put you
through the agony of dying
by
disturbing your concordant operation
for
to satisfy our wretched ambitions disregarding any
other form of life!

The mighty Time, I once implored
More hours to each day to add
For
I wish myriads of minutes to enjoy
Holding you in my arms, my love!

Happy National Holiday Day to my American friends.
The ledge, jutting out
in quivering water.
Moon was sitting underneath,on floor.
*
I will look out?
for a songbird.
Something secret, I wanted to share.
*
I do not abuse anybody,
like a mockingbird?
I make a fool of myself.

Sunbeams serenade my window pane
Imploring restful notes to disdain
Abridging curtain the bright melody doth strain
My top sheet covers the harmonious chain
Gilded streams strike heartier refrain
But dissonant chords cloud my brain
A glistening symphony of metric lines retrains
The cerebral rhythms course through my veins
A chorus of light waves entrancing crescendo maintains
From ingratiating pageant my body no longer abstains
