Analysis of The New Year



New Year’s Eve    2023                 Written by Karen Coles
                              The New Year

Old wrongs of the past year have been mentioned and cast out.
The soul is happy with the New Year, a clean slate.
New horizons, dreams are not clogged by old thoughts.
A vacuum has happened creating a void to be filled with positive changes.
The heart is open to what God is ready to guide.
Paths are new.  Steps are to be taken never before.
Old acquaintances to be forgotten and only positive influences are welcome.
The negative flow is severed like threads of cheap cloth unraveling away into rags to wipe up sticky messes.
These words are the roadway to blessings to be gotten.
God bless us all plus he has a strong invite to move his Holy Spirit throughout our whole bloodline which he created and has the power to bind what the spirit doesn’t want.
All are released from captivity of a closed mind.

Time to rejoice!

About this poem

Sometimes people hold things inside and miss out on good times and miss chances to make things right by holding grudges. Many people are hurting because of things said, not speaking to friends or even family anymore. One day that someone will be gone.
