Embers in the Wind, Threads for Tomorrow

In the rising fog of the New Year, let burdens take flight, As failures lift like morning dew under the sun's gentle touch, Let them drift away, carried by dreams, dissolving into the horizon. Unbind societal shackles, like chains rusted by time's unforgiving passage, Let freedom persist, a song echoing through the dawn. Fly away barriers that sundered our hearts, Vanish into the night's celestial jete, For in our togetherness, our strength restarts, Like a melody, each note harmonizing with the next, Ashes of isolation, where unity finds its way, We are a mosaic of dreams, each piece interwoven, of unity's play. Welcome joyous days, with wisdom’s spark, Spin tales in a patchwork of blended delight, Let harmony imprint minds and souls, Like an ember’s warmth on a winter’s night, Carry agape love, a beacon through the dark. Let this year transcend mere time's vibrant flow, A crown adorned with empathy's multicolored light, Societal, psychological, philosophical in the know, Unified, we thrive, our unity ignites, Threads of tomorrow, woven in today's greatest show. Ultimately, each voice, a tremor in the wind, can join the rising choral tide, Each note a battle fought and won, where shadows once did hide. No longer solo in the dark, but harmony in vibrant throng, We rise, a symphony of souls, where failures turn to song, singing, May the Lord bless us with His grace, And guide us through each day, May we seek His eternal loving face, And follow His peaceful righteous way. May we find strength in His word, And comfort in His soft embrace, May our hearts be filled with His love, And our souls with His unconditional grace. May we walk in His radiant light, Shining His boundless love for all, Guided by grace, our hands and feet, Answering His utmost highest and loving call.

Hi Daniel: A very beautiful poem with deep thoughts! I like this last verse. You should consider ending the poem with this verse and take out the last three verses and use them to compose another poem. Keep writing! "Ultimately, each voice, a tremor in the wind, can join the rising choral tide, Each note a battle fought and won, where shadows once did hide. No longer solo in the dark, but harmony in vibrant throng, We rise, a symphony of souls, where failures turn to song, singing,"

Christine, thank you for your kind, insightful feedback on my poem. I sincerely appreciate your suggestion to consider ending with the last verse and reworking the others into a new piece. I have thought about that and perhaps you are right that it would end stronger. Thanks again, and your encouragement fuels my passion for writing. - Blessings, my friend, - Daniel

A uniquely soulful and profound write by your gifted quill, Daniel.. This brought me so much soothe and tranquilizing vibes, as I could connect with emotions that you've so beautifully conveyed here.. Very true, everyone in this world is suffering to an extent, even those full of negative thoughts and insincere intentions, are submerged in the aura of darkness.. Which needs to be lifted, to let humanity fly across unbounded horizons..Your words filled my heart with peace this morning, honestly..

Dear daniel, as always a powerful poem from you, blessed to be able to read such profound word weaving like yours, i agree i hope and pray too that we will all be able to unchain from the societys shackles that bind us from moving forward with positivity. One major reason so many drown in darkness and theres so many with mental health issues, because of the pressure, i love the prayer at the end, so poetic and feels very sincere, i can tell and feel how you wish and pray not just for yourself

Happy New Year, Ink Empress! Thank you so much for a beautiful response to my poem. I am a Mental Health/Drug and Alcohol counselor by trade and yes there are so many that are struggling. Some of my poems deal directly with some of the issues. I know that we have become such an individualistic world and don’t realize that we can be a bit more of a WE world helping each other. It is always a pleasure hearing from you and today I felt your light. - Blessings, Daniel

But for others too all around. And thats a generous and kind gesture, a prayer is all that we can gift to another in this cold world. I love how eloquently you weave thoughts in such a soulful manner, pleasure reading as always: sending back light, and hope all that you’ve prayed for comes your way

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Your poem beautifully captures the spirit of hope, renewal, and unity as the New Year unfolds. The imagery of burdens taking flight, failures lifting like morning dew, and societal shackles being unbound creates a powerful sense of liberation and optimism.. The concluding verses bring a spiritual dimension to the poem, invoking blessings from the Lord, seeking His grace, and expressing a desire to walk in His radiant light... It's a pleasure to read..
