As the year goes by !!

As the last few evenings of this year pass by

Reels of the past year swim through my eyes

The year that began with promises and new hope

The ones that I made when high on hope’s dope

Life swinging between extremes

Averageness, my life’s this year didn’t see

Lurking between bests and the worsts

There were some sad lasts and a few newborn firsts

Resolutions half done

Achieved a few, forgotten some

Nights when I cried myself to sleep

Attempts to understand life, oh so deep

Philosophers I could put to shame,

What mattered, who didn’t, for my miseries who was to be blamed

Writing journey this year I began

Shedding inhibitions, making blogger friends

Support in this new endeavor pouring from all ends

Health scares waking me up one fine day

Importance of it understood the harder way

When professional life seemed to be messy

There were friends who stood by like life’s blessings

Lost a best friend for life

Misunderstandings cutting relationships slowly like a blunt knife

Unnecessary Ego went for a toss

But not before creating a huge void, a magnanimous loss

Maturity I think, seeped my head a little

Breaking some notions, oh so brittle

Futile attempts to save a few close relations

The ones that made life come almost to stagnation

A handful of new friends garnered on the way

That made life bearable on harsh sunny days

Tried to be a better daughter, sister and human being

But couldn’t match the standards I set in the beginning

As another year goes by

Life slips like sand, unstoppable, however hard you try

So much had to be done

So much to be achieved, so much to be won

Regrets, Remorse of things undone

Sprinkled with a few happy moments in the year long run

As this year closes its shop

I stand again looking at horizon

Holding hope’s little fingers again

2014 - You better be a happy one
