The New Year’s hype has just begun <br />As clock’s hands tell ’tis twelve midnight; <br />A thunderous roar of people’s voices <br />Start as hearts and minds with ecstasy afill. <br />A New Year has been born again, <br />As crackers burst to noisy forms <br />And patterns across all night skies – <br />Sparkling, gleaming, glistening, raining <br />Fiery stars of colored hues that shine <br />To raise the sullen spirits of the old year <br />Into a dream of hopes in the New Year.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-year-is-born-again/
