The Audacity of Hope


Day, fresh and fearless;
Night, a distant dream;
The sadness of noon, 
gone.

The sun sheds radiance on a new moon,
Crowning the hills in beauty and gold.
In blissful awe, the mountains 
Welcome the rains to the green.

Like dew, promiscuous fortunes,
Swallowed by the Yew.
A newborn, birthed with hope.

Desire, dare, seek.
Resign regrets, despise doubt.
Ponder, pause, pray.

Toil in the mines of knowledge,
Where courage silently labours 
into victory.

Believe,
Watch the future fall 
in line.
