Goodbye 2020 Poem by Valsa George

Goodbye....2020
The dim lit lamp is slowly burning out
The wick is in its final flashing glow
The year 2020 will soon be fading out
Through ups and downs life did flow

When many succumbed to the inevitable end
Thank God! We have braved the strife!
Though waded through the mire of adversities
2020 has shown us many facets of life

The year has given us a mixed pack
Though many a time faltered and burnt
And ‘felt a Funeral, in our brain'
From you much we have perused and learnt

Taught us that we have been riding in paper airplanes
Blissfully ignorant and staying in brittle glass castles
The thrust of a wanton boy's catapulted stone
Could break the much guarded edifice into mere shards!

As the year is receding back into intergalactic space
The New Year is around to infuse breath into tired lungs
Let it dawn as the incandescent full moon
Shine lustrous, bringing peace and joy in tons! !


Also Good bye to poem hunter and all my dear friends here especially to my close friends like Bri Edwards, Kumaramani Mahakul, Rose Marie, Khairul and the like as I wish to take a long break. I find the new format not at all ‘user friendly' and I don't have enough time to spare....

Wish all of you a Happy New Year!
