unraveling threads of time,
watching, real-time, amazed
happening before the witnessing eye
A nation turning, transforming,
like a butterfly out of a cocoon,
a nation rising from a long night
slumber giving way to light
Dawning, rising, renewing
a transition of power
moving forward, a nation
together, hopeful, prayerful
Longing for the truth of our creed
highest ideals, better angels appearing
our nature wrapped in these words
the oath, the prayers, and his speech
