Aliveness’s vindication
Bumpy pebbles in our fate
Courageous aspiration
Destiny’s we boldly curate
Hopeful as our perspective’s tint
Greatness as our perseverance’s, fruition
Fulfilment as our ambition’s trait
Effort-over-outcome as our self-validation
I’m toasting to a New Year’s blank page
Inking a grateful heart’s, pulsing volition
In defiance of what hardships may await
Irrespective of my quicksand starting line
Juxtaposed mindset’s liberated of anxiety
Keeping free of existence’s kindred fears
Liquidated lament’s: letting love levitate!

Such sound and well expressed reasons for letting the new year begin with a review of its promise dear friend. A delight to read and agree in the final line how we best meet its challenges - --yes - by "letting love levitate! "
Amen!
Happy New Year dear fay
what a comprehensive reading
of my my humble scribble, thank you!
Quite a curator's dilemma and challenge! Such a promise and a surprise that unfolds.
and hopefully a little fun to read
thank you kind Poet
This truely is a well thought out toast. If we can only live up to each of these lines throughout this new year then it will surely be one of the best of all time. Each stanza with a wonderful metaphor. The third stanza was particularly vivid with the "quicksand starting line" and yes ending it with "letting love levitate" was a great finishing touch.
what encouraging words, thank you dear Poet
let's hope whether we live up to these lines or not
it will still be one of the better twelve months
we get to experience in our brief lives
indeed, when all is said and done
may it be that universal Love
reigning high upon our fallibility's, ruins and dust
This is one o them I shall have no hesitation whatsoever in drinking to time and time again .......... thank you Mek .. and all good things to you too sir ..
Neville
and here's to your good health Hyung, cheers!

(but try to not work too hard
try as you might, you can't save em all
and the empathetic mind is a most taxing muscle to utilise)
hello, this is the author of Christmas On The Road I read your latest work and also the comments it has so far received
I agree whole heartedly with them and don't know what I could add
I think it is a great philosophical poem and also a fine and fluent work of art
thank you! kind Poet
your very read of my humble effort, adds a lot
O my days how strange the word Liquidating came up when I was writing today and I say with the word for awhile.
Then my first read of the year comes from a shining soul as you, I hope these words of yours I absorb can bring me that defiance I need!
Keep up the write my friend
Much peace and respect
What inspirational warmth in your words
dear cherished Poet
I shall come back to your kindness when my knees
begin to buckle
How I cherish the day fate aligned my path with yours
stay strong brother
Could we but return to the moment of birth when all was a blank slate, and carefully write upon it the hopes and promises of the future that we vow to achieve. This is such a powerful and thought provoking poem dear friend, and such a wonderful toast to the New Year. May we be born again. Such a fav.
I think that's the mindset i was in
when wording this humble scribble
dear wise Poet
that feeling of curating our new beginnings
or at least making a few pledges
to entice fate's kind side, to gaze upon our path in life
'in hope we entrust'..
May each day's blank page in this New Year be filled with wonderful words Mek.
Andy
Amen!
thank you wise Poet,
wishing you and yours, all the best as well my friend
Effort-over-outcome mentality would make a big difference in our lives..
indeed, that's my favourite line as well
'acceptance a much neglected utility
in our survival mindset's, weaponry'
thank you! dear poet
Happy New Year
Great writing .. think we all wish to be free of anxiety and fear it’s never a nice place to be in ..
Especially love the last line
‘ letting love levitate ‘ nice use of alliteration.
Yes that last line was great fun, thank you dear Poet
so glad you enjoyed the read
