New Year
********
When illness ebbs out and vitality flows
With hearts filled with love
And faces bright with sunny cheer
Bodies light with effervescence buoyance
The happy angels drive out the dark gloom
When clanging bells chime in the New Year
A time when nervousness, frustration and anxiety
Hurriedly exit through the backdoor
The salubrious breeze blows in
Ushering in hope and prosperity
Driving out despair
With a bubbling cataract of joy
That hangs around its haunts
In smiling faces and helping hands.
- Akhilananda Bharati
