The hush descends, the revelry has ceased, A quiet pause, a moment of release. The Christmas lights, though fading, are still aglow, Casting a soft haze, a peaceful, gentle flow. The days drift by, a languid, lazy pace, A time for rest, a time to find one’s place. The year recedes, its memories take hold, …

Flowers, withering without water. Drying, dying, none to care. Petals dropping, one by one, Dying, drying, abhorrent, uncared. The slightest breeze and several fall Dried, died, yet still fragrant. Their perfume fills only the imagination. Reality is the smell of stagnation. The aroma of death, By midday sun or moonlit night They fall, dead, dry, …

Happiness is not on the face of a clown, They always have a permanent frown. Happiness is something you just have inside. But in people I know, it knows how to hide. So, give us a smile, no, give us a grin, Showing you're happy, is not yet a sin, Big hearty laughs, so your …
