Farewell

My muse when I looked at the calendar and realized that very soon this year will come to an end...

Yesterday
fades silently
into the distant past.

Today
stealthily tiptoes
to the hazy horizon.

Tomorrow
takes a peek
from beyond the horizon.

And each bids
a graceful farewell
to one another.

Just the way 2010
bid farewell to 2011
and 2011 will do so to 2012.

A nostalgic farewell to 2011 ! May the New Year bring peace on earth and goodwill among all of us ! Thank you for your patience & your encouraging comments on my 'Story of English -Part Three' ! You are right Gita , it gives me great satisfaction since no one in the world has written this in Verse ! Hope it doesn't get plagiarised ; hope to publish it after I complete it next year ! Best wishes for the Christmas & the New Year , -Raj
