Farewell, 2024

 

-by Pratyush Parashar Das

It's funny how even this year seems to have ended so fast,

But such is life, for no matter how amazing, nothing seems to last,

Nonetheless there is beauty to be found in this transience, like the roar of a long-silent waterfall, where now reigns only a misty effervescence,

Time seems to move both slow and fast, reluctant to bid adieu, and yet hurrying away as if evil is afoot, oh Mon Dieu

And so ends another eventful journey of our home around the big fiery ball we call the Sun,

As I stand watching the last rays of 2024, turning the landscape dun.
