Another New Day October 21, 2006

Another new day

It is a new sky again
And a new earth
After spending the night
In the lap of the deepest darkness
Curling up like a baby
In the vastness of the clusters of stars

I am thankful to the night
For bringing the darkness so deep
That brings the brightness
Of the distant stars to me,
And to the moon
For bringing a poem to my heart

The sun rises again
With a promise of a new day
Smiling at each new flower
Caressing them with the warmth of his rays
Making them rejoice for
They have taken birth
Into a world where they can see his grandeur
To their heart’s content.

Wish all of you readers a Very Joyous & Prosperous Diwali!
