Transitions
As the clock strikes midnight, a new era unfurls,
From the ashes of yesterday, a world in transition twirls.
Dangers lurk amidst the winds of change,
Yet possibilities beckon, urging us to rearrange.
This year bids farewell, leaving behind its trials,
An invitation to awaken, to walk the extra miles.
Geopolitical puzzles, hidden from plain sight,
It's time to delve deeper, bring the truth to light.
The tapestry of nations, woven with intricate thread,
A delicate balance, where peace and conflict tread.
But fear not, for chaos breeds new beginnings,
A chance to mend fractures and heal hidden sins.
Wake-up to the perils that await on our path,
Yet keep your gaze fixed on the rewards that shall amass.
For in these turbulent times, where worlds collide,
Lie the seeds of progress, where dreams can't be denied.
Embrace the challenges, with resilience in your core,
Harness the power within, let your spirit soar.
From societal crises to technological leaps,
Our collective actions shape a destiny that keeps.
United we stand, divided we fall,
Let empathy guide us, love conquering all.
For in this global Zeitgeist,
a choice is ours to make,
To build a world anew,
for our children's sake.
So, as we step into the unknown, hand-in-hand,
A brighter future awaits… a promise to understand.
With open hearts and minds, let's navigate this tide,
For the dawn of change holds both risks and rewards worldwide.
My Best to You All for Healthy and Prosperous 2024
