Inaugural Day by XperDunn- piano musings and a short poem to mark the glorious day.

On a dazzling winter day we looked to each other with enormous smiles and wide eyes.We couldn't believe the warmth and the giddiness inside, not just ourselves, or our families, or even just the Democrats--
we were here to see it--
a roundhouse right to the lingering cold, dark corners of bigotted minds. And an irrefutable affirmation of our dedication to the idea of equality.
This moment is so rare because it is filled with pride--
pride in our nation and in ourselves for being citizens of this place.
We are tempted, as during the holidays,
to ask ourselves, 'Why can't it always be this way?'
And all of us good citizens answer
in like fashion to past generations,
"We'll get right on that!"
