A year was coming to an end

A year was coming to an end,
Celebrations were galore,
Who can tame the time?

The world was rejoicing,
Welcoming this New Year,
It was yet another magnificent manifestation of time.

In one such celebration I was introspecting,
Reflecting back at my life's journey,
Also marveling at the speed of time.

I wondered, "was it not just a short while ago ,
When i was part of similar fun and frolic?"
Well, that's the magic of time.

Everyone was in high spirits, in ways more than one,
Spellbound by the invisible but omnipotent time.

I still have miles to go and promises to keep,
But feel apprehensive about time.

Yes, i need to run faster than ever before,
My determination is unparalleled but needs to match the pace of time.

This moment onward let me hang all my past hangovers,
And begin a three-legged marathon with my partner 'Time'.
