Looking beyond the brand
new day,
With prospects most scarily
secretive.
A whole fresh new pattern
to establish,
Unravelling material
threads of life itself.
Dreams and optimism woven
together,
Opportunities pencilled
into possibilities.
Casting aside heavy
grudges and angst,
Consigning inferior
choices into forgettable.
Setting about with grand
designs on futures,
Newness feels good and inspirational
in appeal.
