Dawn Of Hope, Of Trust And Faith Poem by Om Chawla

New dawn awaits across the night,
A year in the meanwhile has slipped by.
For some a year of grief, travail and tribulation,
For others, of sweet and rapturous exhilaration.
Riding on the nimble waves of time,
The vanishing year of floundering gloom,
Or of resurgent mirth and laughter,
Will soon cross the horizon and be consigned.
Boisterous crescendo would soon arise,
Glittering illumination subjugating night
Would usher in dawn of hope and anticipation,
Even before the new dawn's sunrise.

Let us step forward to meet and embrace
The new dawn of man's yearnings and grace:
Repledging the customary resolutions
Unfulfilled pledges of the year gone by,
Hoping to redeem the pledges some day,
Whence want and sufferance will have no stay;
And establish a new trust-
Just, ethical and all pervasive truthfulness.

Let us step forward to meet and embrace
The new dawn of hope, of trust and faith.


Blessed it be for you and me
And for every living soul that be.
