Nice!
This called to mind the Anglo-Saxon Rune poem, which provides a terse bit of wisdom for every letter of the alphabet. It is the basis for modern rune-reading.
H: Hail is the whitest of grain; it is whirled from the vault of heaven and is tossed about by gusts of wind and then it melts into water.
N: Trouble is oppressive to the heart; yet often it proves a source of help and salvation to the children of men, to everyone who heeds it betimes.
I: Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery; it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems; it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.
Turn on your heart light.
