The Year That Came And Went Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

A page turned,
In the tireless,
Infinite circular time!

A leaf too has fallen,
In the tree of,
Life that Reborns,
Regrows and Blossoms!

The year came,
Spent its time,
And left like,
Its a custom!

But the colors,
Of cultures changed,
With the passing time,
As per the whims,
And fancies and,
Pulls and Pushes of,
Mankind Diverse!

Promises it made,
For plans we had,
A few fulfilled,
A few didn't,
A few on their course,
A few deferred,
A few shall never!

Those fulfilled,
Brought happiness;
Those which didn't,
Are myths of ghosts;
Thanks they were,
Not fulfilled!

Those on their way,
And those deferred,
Wish and Pray Thee,
They shower happiness!

Those that never will,
Are good dreams to pass,
And reappear only in,
Peaceful sleep!

The year that came and went,
For which I never bent,
And shall never repent;
As I spent with it,
All the time in,
Fun-filled energy;
As I learnt it,
And mastered it,
With every year,
That came and went!

Bid Adieu..Bye, Bye,
To the sweet past;
And Welcome to the,
Future of surprises!

Happy New Year!
