Bidding adieu to 2010 !

365 days ago we met

on a wintry and windy night

the town dazzled and skies lit up

and you entered in my life.

unaware, on unknown paths I traversed

erasing and creating memories

for gifting me a bag you said

"these are your share of gratification and grief".

you 'connived' with time

some shells of wisdom I did find

and then the days flew off

on remains of relations that I lost.

months crept in and our bond cemented

experiences inter-weaved- bold, new and vivid

a lonely b'day and some dark nights

I embraced all with amazement and delight.

I apprehended,

people we meet are like stars

millions of them in a galaxy

who alter their path suddenly

never returning back onto the trajectory.

I explored,

the vastness of my city

travelling alone, far and wide

free, like a young bird

who has just learn to glide.

I observed,

in astonishment the sea of faces

around me in malls and buses

each one so diverse and different

yet with a heart that beats in rhythm.

I progressed,

a step ahead in accomplishing my creams

a dream to serve my fellow beings

entering a world of distress and pain

devoting myself to the selfless lane.

I march,

ahead with a belief in heart

when its your time to depart

that I will stack up your memories

like leaves entangles the breeze.

Finally I say,

goodbye year 2010

goodbye my dear companion and friend

I will miss you a lot but I regret not

the gloomy, harrowing experiences you brought.

Letting you go with,

our parting wish that this new year

will bring in more enjoyment and cheer

not just for you and me

but all those who welcome it with glee!

A very happy and prosperous NEW YEAR to everyone :)
