Like the eyes of a warrior that shuts <br />for a while and rejoins the battle; <br /> <br />Like the wings of a bird that freezes <br />for a minute and continues its flap; <br /> <br />Like the soul in heaven that rests <br />for a day and returns to earth; <br /> <br />Let time shut its eyes, wings and soul <br />And be reborn as a better, brighter year!<br /><br />Pradeep Dhavakumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-clock-strikes-12-a-new-year-poem/
