New Year's Revival

Jan. entry for Elizabeth's Poetry & Short Story Contest

The sparks that colour the midnight sky
In them we see our dreams fly high
Bright flames, which stir our hearts
From failures past, may we depart
New light, awaken our resolve once more
From the ashes of broken promises shall we soar
Let us be freed, unburdened, renewed
That to our old self, we can bid, “Adieu!”
