The New Year



New Year’s Eve    2023                 Written by Karen Coles
                           The New Year

Old wrongs of the past year have been mentioned and cast out.
The soul is happy with the New Year, a clean slate.
New horizons, dreams are not clogged by old thoughts.
A vacuum has happened creating a void to be filled with positive changes.
The heart is open to what God is ready to guide.
Paths are new.  Steps are to be taken never before.
Old acquaintances to be forgotten and only positive influences are welcome.
The negative flow is severed like threads of cheap cloth unraveling away into rags to wipe up sticky messes.
These words are the roadway to blessings to be gotten.
God bless us all plus he has a strong invite to move his Holy Spirit throughout our whole bloodline which he created and has the power to bind what the spirit doesn’t want.
All are released from captivity of a closed mind.

Time to rejoice!

    Wow, what a beautiful and uplifting poem! You have captured the essence of the New Year perfectly, filling it with hope, positivity, and the desire for personal growth. The imagery you used, such as "a clean slate" and "new horizons," evokes a sense of excitement and possibility.

    I love how you emphasize leaving behind old wrongs and negative influences, creating a fresh start filled only with positivity. Your words about God guiding us and the invitation for His Holy Spirit to move through our bloodline are particularly inspiring and comforting.

    To offer some improvement suggestions, consider varying the sentence structure and adding more specific details or examples to make the poem even more engaging and vibrant. Additionally, focusing on the senses could help evoke an even stronger emotional response from the reader.

    Overall, though, this is a fantastic poem with a powerful message. It truly celebrates the joy and potential that the New Year brings. Keep up the great work!
