Hello, 🌕 HuntersMoon

What I liked

This poem has a wonderful theme, is well written and follows a structure which successfully strengthens its theme's developmental flow.

I especially liked the end line about the single breath first brought up in the second quatrain.

What might need work

Thought the prompt was a 'fresh start', not a 'sour start'?! *Laugh*

into the future, bright and vast. - this may be just me being weird, but I think I'd use the indefinite article here rather than definite so that it's not one pre-ordained future but a realm of possibilities, ie. a future, not the future.

The “new” in New Year’s just a trope.
I feel time’s just a single breath
- did you repeat 'just' for the echoe effect? If not, consider subetituting 'but' in the second line for alliteration with 'breath' and vertical alliteration with 'birth'

No resolutions will I make.
Though made sincerely, some I’d break
- when you begin the second line with 'though' it sounds a bit off because the preceding line is negative, if you catch my drift.

Thank you for sharing!

Best wishes,
