Happy New Year

“Love is from the beginning and it lasts till eternity.
The seekers of love will be infinite.
Tomorrow when the Day of Justice will appear,
whoever who is not in love will be rejected.”

“Set a fire in your heart from love,
Burn all thoughts and statements.”
God stayed and everything else left,
Be happy, oh fierce love, the burner of all our ills.”
