The night is darkest and coldest...

...just before the most precious colors

are painted shyly across the firmament

and coalesce and crescendo

to this breathtaking enormity

of hot embers and pearl.

Inspired and enkindled…

let a blessed wrath quake you into activity.

Know in your heart, that the rage you feel

is a manifestation of hope and strength…

for the destruction we wreak - is an act of love.

Let the innumerable spreading fires

in our hands bring forth the dawn!
