Come December
by Sangeeta Saha
(Kolkata, India)
Come December come with all memories of the passing year
Joyous or sad, burdened or glad all that happened far or near
Each month though bear a flavour of its own season
But you are the special one full of very special reason
You’re the foothold, the pathfinder of a new beginning
The time that follows you would surely be favoured by your blessing
You’ll try your best to soak out the pathos
Detoxifying the fatigued souls, unbinding love from egos.
Come December come and extricate all the thoughts of violence
Blow away the retaliated hatred and rekindle the lights of rejuvenescence
I pray to the Holy Lord who was born in this month so pious
Who pardoned all who sinned and condemned Him, averting their thoughts to be virtuous
You too can swipe away all the dirts of inhumane adversity
And revive the dawn of a new era with the grace of tranquil fraternity
All the glitz and glitter might subdue in a couple of days
But if you show the right path, I wish, the eternal peace will prevail always.
