What Awaits In 2025

I peer into the crystal’s gleaming light,

A swirl of shadows, futures bright.

The haze unfolds, a story untold,

What will this new year’s journey hold?

I see myself in internship halls,

Walking steady through daunting calls.

Will I shine, will I thrive, will I find my way,

Or falter briefly but learn each day?

A flicker shows a love unknown,

Eyes that meet and feel like home.

A hand that steadies, a laugh that heals,

Is this the love my heart conceals?

The orb now shimmers, a body in stride,

Strength and confidence side by side.

Will I reach the goal I’ve yearned to see,

And embrace the mirror, proud to be me?

Then weddings burst in hues of gold,

Two friends’ joy in summer’s hold.

Can I balance the laughter, work, and tears,

Or will I juggle the weight of busy years?

The crystal clouds, the vision fades,

Its secrets kept in mystery’s shades.

But as I gaze, I hear a call—

The future’s mine, to shape it all.

So I take the ball and place it down,

No need for glimpses, no jeweled crown.

For 2025, I’ll take each day,

With courage, love, and trust to stay.
