When those final grains of sand
fall through the hourglass of the year.
Raise the glass, turn it around,
dance and cheer.
For this is the beginning
not the straggly end with threads left frayed.
This new, fresh start,
not stale and decayed.
Let the winds blow away
cobwebs of yesterday.
Clear thoughts
for a New Year’s Day.
Let us walk
with a swagger and a sway.
Taking strides,
not tentative steps
into tomorrow.
Let us play.
Don't look back
in fear or regret.
Look forward instead
to what lays ahead.
A future where you
get to see another sunrise
over a new, fresh beautiful day,
another rainfall,
which clears away the dirt,
another moonlit night
holding you tight
against the hurt.
Another smile.
When it feels like gravity
has pulled the last one
down to the earth.
When that clock strikes,
and voices raise a cheer.
As your thoughts
soar through the air,
exploding in colour,
a firework of hope
for the new year.
Don't jump in fear,
don't bask in fright.
Embrace the night.
For it is the beginning
of the next chapter
in this grand
exciting adventure
we call life.
Thanks for reading
