With the coming of the new year, many of us look forward to the fireworks and the champagne. I personally look forward to the spark within ignited by a desire to make 2024 better than 2023. I don't know about you but I am ready to leave behind 2023, by pouring my energy into the new year with a determined mindset which welcomes hard work, ultimately to "fight" for what I want. Despite that every year presents itself with some sort of challenge, I sit in the quiet knowing that whatever storm I might have to face I will definitely not face it with fear. Sometimes confidence isn't enough. This is very true. Sometimes it takes more, yes. But, as long as we stay steady on the aim we have higher chances to succeed. The new year is more than just another opportunity, it is the opportunity to be and become anew. Thus, here is a poem I wrote and published entitled "Despite The Storm" with a special surprise for the new year from me to you at the very end.
Despite The Storm poem by
Carmen A. Cisnadean
In every storm there is a chance, To overcome, to be, to become, A graceful light As brilliant as heaven’s sun,
To brake the chains, To overcome, be, and become, Anew.
You gave me life to take a chance, To overcome, to be, to become,
A breeze of sound Despite the currents wild. You gave me strength To take the sail,
Beyond the surge To places new.
I live my life, to breach the storm, To overcome, to be, to become, A sturdy ship
Despite the wrath,
To rise above the highest tide
To overcome, be, and become,
A better me.
