I loved your poem and appreciate the good wishes in your notes. I wonder if there is a reason why sometimes the first person pronoun is capitalized and other times not. I love the peace of the poem releasing the old year with forgiveness. I wonder what the "Second Coming" means to you as to Christians, it means Christ's return.

Phrases I really enjoyed:
" fairy lights wink"
"like a yellowed autumn leaf shrugged off by the tree."

    Oh! God .It is sheer carelessness.(not capitalising the first person) I noticed it and corrected it ,then I forgot to click 'save'!
    W.B Yeats poem 'Second Coming' talks about the return of Christ. I wish even another Krishna could come back. The world is in such a mess that we need a saviour whoever it is.
    ' Thank you for dropping by.

    Don't feel bad. In all the other languages I know which have capital letters, only English capitalizes the "I" As a teen, I was rebellious and used the lowercase. 😂

Sanku,
This poem has some good metaphor and a path on the best way to live
in the coming year.
One error I found is strike should be strikes.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy New Year
Joan

Your words read well with some internal rhyme. I enjoyed reading your thoughts about the end of this year. Your words are carefully chosen about those near and dear to you. I like the color scheme and image. Also, I like the way you described the year as falling away like a yellowed leaf of autumn tree.
Respectfully, Jan

Glorious--fresh, elegant, graceful--a stunning example of free verse at its best--as fine as I've seen--heartfelt--vividly evocative of the occasion.
