A New Dawn VI

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:)

…a blank page is drawn;

sotto voce, her thoughts mutter—

saying words without speaking,

her heart listens without hearing,

ideas, twirling tortuously in the tempest of her mindscape,

whilst nuanced notions gruesomely groped for a placid perch;

“What legacy will I write?

What myth will be written of me?”

such were the questions she pondered,

as her spirit took to flight,

whilst the clock leapt four steps at a time—

…twenty…twenty-four, …

With the dawn of a new year and the unveiling of another glorious chapter in our lives, I do wish you rapturous moments spewing from your quills as you turn aspirations into reality with the aid of love bestowed by friends and family. I also wish you the strength and clarity to overcome the fewer hurdles that will inevitably lay before us and come 2025 Eve, we’ll have many good memories to reflect upon.

Happy New year,

A New Dawn II

A short story

As her world spun still,
dreamy days flew by,
and the Earth slowly grew giddy.

With defenses now laying bare,
space-grey goblins came scything down her core,
and every milky taste she once had of her galaxy
became a forlorn memory.

Darkness crescendoed
and, alas,
from her seven siblings,
she became estranged.

However, there lived a being;
a bright beaming being,
who always stood firm by her,
and ran circles around her adversities,
thence,
illuminating her dimming mien,
and after three sixty six days
of twirling and courtship,
a new child is born.

A Happy New year to you, and may all your wishes yearned come true🥳🙏.

Here comes the dawn of a new year,

and the heavens echo, my friend:

withering flowers will bloom, sad hearts will cheer.

.

and we shall not cower in fear,

in times when ripples need be amend,

because here comes the dawn of a new year.

.

a little odd some days may appear,

a little low we beings may descend,

but, withering flowers will bloom, sad hearts will cheer.

.

remove the mask, burn the veneer,

for upon ourselves we may depend,

because here comes the dawn of a new year.

.

and as we go, bleak may seem the atmosphere,

with each road posing a dead end,

yet, withering flowers will bloom, sad hearts will cheer.

.

For we shall dream less and toil more, my dear,

and the fruits we reap, we may not comprehend,

because here comes the dawn of a new year,

where withering flowers will bloom, sad hearts will cheer.
