2025 LEGACY
By Leon Enriquez


Yes we hear the bell sound
The toll of midnight hour
A new year comes around
As fond dreams empower


A glimpse of lovely hope
As the brand new year starts
As Auld Lang Syne words scope
Our soul, body-mind, heart

~~~~~~~~~


As fireworks dazzle mirth
Frame A Happy New Year
And goodwill on this earth
As warm feelings endear


As we raise a fine toast
To our expectations
Feel this grand moment host
Our pursuit with passion

~~~~~~~~~


The promise of good times
Moves purpose and action
The pleasures as charm chimes
A loving connection


Here at the threshold we
Wish upon our bright stars
To live rapture and be
True to honour on par

~~~~~~~~~


Resolve to anchor acts
To face the world we live
Abide with steadfast tact
To we earn as we give


May each battle we face
Be a testament brave
In glimpse of light and grace
To share glory we crave

~~~~~~~~~


Faith moves our way each day
As hope clusters good health
Love sparkles rainbow rays
True abundance our wealth


When we face dismal loss
May our spirits be strong
To mine gold from odd dross
To know what’s right from wrong

~~~~~~~~~


May joy and peace of mind
Bring us serene living
May heart and soul now find
Tranquil moments blessing


May love keep our being
With confidence and grace
Live each day becoming
To know our sacred space

~~~~~~~~~


May our spirits be whole
To frame our body-mind
May our heart bear true soul
To live what true love binds


Two-zero-two-five comes
To herald our affairs
Change and grace can thus sum
Our bounty and our flair

~~~~~~~~~


Here we greet the new year
As fond resolve moves heart
With grand hope and good cheer
To face life as we start


Here by the year’s front gate
We stride with faith and hope
Bring love to face our fate
As time and space greet scope

~~~~~~~~~

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Long piece yet finished all too soon. Hard to achieve this in a poem or prose. reads like a book. Hope we will see more of your work yet and that you are well both physically and spiritually. Best regards David in NZ
