Thoughts on a New Year's eve

Sometimes the words fail,
To speak out the needful,
Sometimes the voices fail,
To voice out the words!

Sometimes the speeches fail,
To deliver the feelings
But true sentiment remain,
Constant, juvenile, forever…

Truly it still remains,
- it still exists,
as the frail year cripples down.

The nostalgic thoughts,
The thoughts of hope
- thoughts of missed opportunities…
...remain subdued, suppressed;

Painted only, by the exciting,
Lingering joy of the New Year!!
