Shine your light.

# Shine Your Light

We are not meant for shadows' cage—
Each soul, a lantern, on life's stage,
Burning bright against the night,
Breaking chains with inner light.

May your flame burn forever strong.
So, Each fire sings its sacred song.
Dancing wild and dancing free,
Lighting paths we've yet to see.

Some hearts are trapped in darkness deep,
Forgetting the stars they're meant to keep,
But even embers, barely lit.
Can spark a blaze so the night is split.

Darkness brings wear to infinite faces,
Leaving its mark in secret places—
As Every ray pierces through,
It can Reveal anothers sacred view.

Life to life, we carry flame,
Never twice, will it burn the same.
Yet what endures through time's long flight,
Is what determines if the future will remain in sight.

So let your radiance burst its bounds,
Illuminate forbidden grounds,
For where light touches, shadows yield
To wisdom waiting, unrevealed.

When others glimpse your unique vibrant shine.
Their own light adds it's gift, and the two combine.
Until the darkness finally can start,
To wither, just before the dawn within each heart.

Together, raising a tide of fire,
We lift each other higher, and higher—
Untill the sight of many other lights dancing in the dead of night,
Bring broken spirits power the power of a raging inferno inside, burning away darkness, and all it can hide.
Evil may have its tricks and schemes... Yet the gentle voices of our guardians sing... We can hear them as long as we're listening. Nothing is as indestructible as a souls determination set aflame...
An eternity of sin and shame, is overcome... light, love, and truth are all that will remain.
