The light of day
is growing longer—
a glimmer of hope
escaping the midnight sky.
This year
where thousands of dreams have perished,
hundreds of eternities have come alive.
The path is clear.
We rise again
out of the rubble of the heart.
Verses are spoken
visions are shared
candles lit
prayers said
as we walk toward the promises
of a new year.
of a new year.
