TOMORROW’S PROMISE
Open paths promise future’s presents
touch of ideal moment’s dreams.
Gemütlichkeit of peaceful turmoil
reaches renewed heart,
searching soul, striving, reaching for unknown challenges,
new shores over mystery oceans,
waves washing wanton shores
to find my new world.
Author notes
From Wikipedia
‘Gemütlichkeit (German pronunciation: [ɡəˈmyːtlɪçkaɪt] ( listen)) is a German abstract noun that has been adopted into English.[1] Its closest equivalent is the word "coziness"; however, rather than merely describing a place that is compact, well-heated and nicely furnished (a cozy room, a cozy flat), Gemütlichkeit connotes the notion of belonging, social acceptance, cheerfulness, the absence of anything hectic and the opportunity to spend quality time.’

Your opening line is so strong and I was hooked from the start. Well done with the contest prompt - I think you handled it very well.
Love your use of assonance mingled with alliteration. The two often do go hand in hand and work so well together.
Unknown challenges will always come to rise and we should enjoy them as they offer us the gifts of knowledge we continue to see.
Grow in every door and crevice. I loved this poem. Thank you for such a lovely entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

Very nice indeed ...
and indeed, quite a cozy little poem.
I think Malmadre's take on your poem is perfect. Long may you "continue to grow".

The unknown is always alluring to the curious, when we can retain that curiousity to explore new worlds, we continue to grow.
