Inaugural thoughts

(Inaugural thoughts)

Moving in the light,
hope is the torch
burning our fears and illuminating our path.

Today is bright.
Joyful tears cleanse.
Snow crystals gleam as fire roars in hearth and heart.

May he lead from calm,
the fiery fountain of strength,
roaring within…

courage.
