The New Year 2025

My New Years thoughts on the future

AI-created image with Dall-E, on my own promp.

A year has passed.

A year ago, I wrote

joys and sorrows

each day

Diligently, and the words flowed.

Spring came,

flowers and outdoor life

within the bounds of my life

with a disabled husband

who could not endure the sun.

Summer faded,

and so did his health

until his death

shattered my entire life.

The words no longer flowed,

it became suddenly hard

to see my thoughts

on paper,

which could not even

be woven into

Christmas hearts,

for joy had vanished.

Many decisions knocked on my door,

And now,

2025 has arrived.

.

A new year, a new life,

a hope for change,

a wish to find

new meaning

in the jungle of possibilities.

Who will stand by my

side and love me?

What will spring

offer me in fragrant, blooming flowers?

Which tasks

will need to be done,

and which will be done with joy,

opening new opportunities,

new relationships,

new locations?

But always with my dog,

who protects me,

by my side.

I will not fail it.

It is my support

when the tears press forward,

For the longing will always remain.
