Footsteps

Footsteps into the new year,
We come to heed a new spirit,
Bold and strong,
Withered through hardship,
But still somehow unfettered,

If yesterday left us incomplete,
We will complete it,
On our own canvas,
Tried and true,
We will dream again,
As we put our ignorance to war,
Learning from the taste of defeat.

We will mend today,
What we could not before,
Our futures are awaiting..
We will turn this tale of time,
Into a vehicle for good.

All that is pure,
We might sometimes not be able to see,
In the face of darkness,
Our souls cannot be free,
Through the storm we must reach the shore,
My heart cannot help,
But think that in the vessel of joy,
There is more..

With every new beginning,
Some beginnings have to end,
Let your light shine through tomorrow,
and be resolute,
Let the lamp of knowledge,
to us never elude…

Footsteps into the new year,
We come to bring change,
Inclusive and pure,
However innocent and unsure,
Whatever it means to be human,
Is all clear to see,
Let our eyes never wane,
the breadth of love,
that all of us can always be..
