We walk into that which we cannot yet see.
Say it plain, that many have died for this day....
Praise song for struggle. Praise song for the day....
In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun. On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp, praise song for walking forward in that light.
excerpts from Elizabeth Alexander, "Praise Song for the Day,"
