À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

The clock ceaselessly clicks its chime,

Soon it marks the propitious time;

Two thousand twenty-five slips by,

A new year greets the starry sky.

Roars of firecrackers seal the air,

With a joyous mood everywhere,

A moonlight sky sparkling so bright,

With promises held ever tight.

In tropical climes, summer glow

Propels seeds of hope to grow,

Heralds new leaves, a brand new start,

A fresh beginning in the heart.

While awaiting the morning light

To celebrate with some delight,

It`s time to reflect on days past,

Moments that faded, built to last.

It is time to ponder ahead,

Time to stitch on with newer threads,

Time to delve on one`s stumbling blocks,

Time one`s weaknesses to take stock.

Let two thousand twenty-six mark

A fresh start, that will beam with sparks,

Ignite hope and faith, erase fears,

Dispel dark doubts from far and near.

Let it a cleaner slate unfold,

A new tale waiting to be told,

Of innovation, bright and bold,

Newer solutions to behold.

With shining dawn of a new year

Let`s us with a smiling face and cheer

Clear the inner rust from our lamp

That it may brighten up our stamp.

Let’s grease our wheels, oil our engines

Wipe up our heart, mind and hands clean

Step out from our zone of comfort

To run faster with same effort.

While cruising up along the road

Let`s observe a passionate code

To heal the earth, protect its grace,

And leave a better, happier place.

Let’s spread kindness with helping hands,

Across islands, across the lands.

With compassion, vibrant and true,

To build a better future, new.

Let the new year be filled with cheer,

With hopes and dreams that draw us near

With love and human feels that bind

With peace of the heart and the mind.

Let’s face the new year, hand in hand,

Together strong, across the land,

With hope as our unswerving guide,

And faith as our unhampered tide.

May joy and peace fill every day

Along life’s warm and winding way,

Let’s two thousand twenty-six greet,

And wish a future bright and sweet.
