It's the New Year's boom with colored fireworks lauding, the toast of the town. The proud, old guard has vanished, with its dreams, yet unvanquished. Hues light the plum night; 'midst crash and bang in the skies. Starry-eyed moon glows. The past's still following me, but only in memory.

Very fun Evelyn! I didn't host a celebration this year, but we enjoyed watching some of the fireworks lighting up the sky around our neighborhood. Happy New Year, I hope 2025 is filled with many blessings for you <3

Unless my partial amnesia is still playing hide-and-seek, I was never a fanatic about parties at the end of the year. Still, you described such a party in an excellent way.
