A New Dawn VI

Cheemnonso25 Comments

As the new year new me bells chimed,

the big bongs and her swan songs rhymed,

with her eyes piercing through the blues of the cloud,

as the memories in her theatrical dome trilled aloud.

Act twenty, scene twenty-four, she reminisced,

on all the good chapters she really missed,

wondering how body and soul still stayed alive,

even when sadness to mirth seemed twenty-to-five.

“Old things are passed away”, she said,

“To a better and brighter new year”, she pled,

one where she would be lushly loved by thy neighbour,

one where she would savour the fresh fruits of her labour.

Alas, she knew not all will be served on a silver platter,

for some yearnings of man tiptoe on the sky’s silver lining,

so she shoots at the stars with silver bullets and a pelter,

hoping it will rain silver spoons of God’s designing.

As we celebrate witnessing the third millennium’s silver jubilee, it is normal for us to have lofty ambitions and plans for how the year-long anniversary should go; however, as previous years may have proved, just making resolutions without a guided attitude, dedication, and diligence may not suffice.

As such, I do wish you and yours a fabulous new year with good health and the strength to follow through with set goals and also to overcome obstacles in the way of your kind heart desires. Do have splendid days ahead, and till next time, ciao:)

  10. Still hoping for a Better 2025.

    To my fellow bloggers:

    Sorry for my blogging inactivity these past months.  A lot on our plate during this big move from Spring Valley to Oceanside, CA.  Now to see who’s still out there.

    Have a wonderful day!
