Burying 2020

Good riddance

We'll gather by your open grave
as bells echo out loud,
no tears or flowers be offered up
to fall upon your shroud.
For you my friend will not be missed
your leaving will be cheered,
though your memory will linger on
in most minds ever seared.
But hope comes with your burying,
a light at tunnels end,
with smiles replacing misery
as the world begins to mend...

Happy New year folks :))

Written in the second person I very much took it personally until I figured out what it was about. Nearly cried. Should have probably read the title first. I'll be up until midnight on New year's Eve just to make sure it happens.
The metaphor of burying the year is clever, one can only hope that baby New year isn't a brat. Maybe we should consider a late term abortion and just check that one in the dumpster, we'll start again at 2022.
That's kind of dark, well I can promise that I am in fact a creepy weirdo, I'm harmless, please don't block me.

Hmmmm, I think 2020 may well have been the afterbirth and the child(year)was mistakenly binned. Better find the midwife and give her a slap.
Thank you for your amusing comments

You echo the sentiments of so many, i want to run and run until any thoughts of this last terrible year are left behind somewhere in oblivion.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year which will get more wonderful every day as we pick up the pieces and learn to breathe freely again :)
