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
