December.
The very last month of the year.
Seems like a long journey we have traversed
December.
Such an ironic month
Fraught with disappointment and depression
Yet sprinkled and garlanded with streamers of euphoria
December.
Champagne and partying
Rich feasts and bedazzled, sequined robes
Celebrating the festivals of the world
Being together, relishing the moment
December.
Mopping up the tears of grief
Endings and letting go
Change is overwhelming
December.
Death and Birth
Old and New
Fusing together with a blurred horizon
December.
Time to take a step forward
And never look back
Reflecting on the footsteps of the past
Impregnating the sand with fresh ones
December.
End of a Chapter
Close the Book
And brace yourselves
For a whole new beginning
A few thoughts I penned down on December as we see 2009 shrinking to a close. It's been an odd year, full of promises and high expectations and mostly, aspirations. There has been both ecstasy and plenty of dejection definitely. And the last few days thin out...
Enjoy yourselves and be merry.
Happy Holidays!

I enjoyed this - there is a lot of truth to this. I like how you went from "being together, relishing the moment" right into "mopping up the tears of grief". This happens so frequently in our lives at Christmas and New Years.
Thank you! :)
I am not much of a poetry person, but from time to time, I like writing unstructured pieces :)
