Tearing cracks in blackened skies
Ruptures to let in the light.
Starting small, it builds into a mighty crescendo.
A riot of color
Mirrored in the sea.
With such a fanfare welcoming this day,
I rise to meet its optimism.
I honor its brilliance with my own.
Let me radiate such profound joy in the new day
That it shines on my fellows
And marks a new departure for us all.
