The day is about to close
the year follows too
the episodes that rose
hold us in blue
the incidents that happened
release an amazement
the floods and quakes dampen
create an estrangement
the killings and death of innocent
cause a flutter and grief
the migration we see in the recent
force us to sigh and heave
days were pleasant in a way
crowded by cheer and goodwill
days were horrible in a way
swarmed by apprehension and ill will
the year went through in fits and starts
punctuated by good and bad
it rolled on without a break from the start
no matter be it happy and sad
another year is ready to enter the arena
be it a better one than the past
let us all greet and welcome 2016 with a stamina
we know 
hope enlivens and invigorates fast.
