The Vision Deepened A Letter To 2023

Dear 2023,

The vision deepened,
the view became panoramic;
Yet here we are running in circles 
all talk and very little action;

One two three, one two three;
what will spark our evolution? 
One two three, one two three;
When will we be ready for change?

No matter where the arrows point 
it seems we have our backs turned;
In pause sitting at the starting gate
legs crossed and our arms folded;

One two three, one two three;
what will spark our evolution? 
One two three, one two three,
When will we be ready to change? 

Optimism’s time should’t run out 
but being a realist I know what I see;
I am grateful for all of the lessons 
I’ve enjoyed every single moment;

2024 is on the horizon let’s put to use 
the knowledge that you have taught us..

Cheers to the next chapter, 
Melrose

Melani, this is a beautiful reflection on the challenges of change and the importance of taking action. Your words are both poignant and inspiring, reminding us to be grateful for the lessons we’ve learned and to use that knowledge to create a better future. Your poem’s themes of perseverance and optimism are especially relevant in today’s world, where so many of us are struggling to find meaning and purpose. Happy New Year, - Blessings, Daniel
