Greet The New Day!

In the Eastern sky spreads an orange tint The many armed deity parts the shroud of mist Awakening the drowsy, dreaming Earth Inviting all to start the New Year in zest On a world that for hours in darkness lay Creeps forth the first efflorescence of light Beams of sun light percolate through the leaves And all that has been hidden comes into sight In the low lying lands, it is still quite dark But over the hill, early dawn is bright In this serene silence, audible is every faint sound The early hours fill us with music's sweet delight The orange shade has brightened into crimson glow Dazzling the wobbly pearls of silvery dew Flowers smile permeating sweet aroma They array in marvelous shapes and hue We are reborn fresh after each night's balmy rest How the golden sun beams dance over the eyes Let us welcome this first dawn of the year A fresh canvas to paint life in flashing hues Each morn glides down with promises new Each day holds for us experiences diverse Though from sunrise to sunset, brief be its span The sum total of the days makes up life's course A new light is flashed across the face of the Earth Promising a year ahead of joy and strife Let us roll up our sleeves and get ready for the combat Pledging ourselves to reap the harvest of life The whole year may not be sunny as it looks to be Sometimes we might stumble and fall But do not hesitate, do not pause for long Onward and onward, let us march to our goal Each new day is a bounteous gift from God Greet the new dawn with its glimmering light Make a perfect start, as the New Year is born Perhaps we may not have another year so bright! Hurray! Welcome the new day, singing and dancing 2014 has fled giving us a mixed bag of joy and pain Let us forget all rivalries and be linked as a band And toil relentless for a happy tomorrow full of gain! …………………………………………………………… The old year has bundled up and a New Year has born! On this ceremonious day, I wish all my friends on poem hunter loads of blessings, days and months of cheerful anticipation, wish fulfillment and all that is sweet and desirable in life…..! May you all have a great NEW YEAR of peace, joy and creativity!
