Poem: April 20, 2019

Shine

Someone needs you to shine today. So shine.
Throw your unfiltered light upon the muddy
places and standing water, the shaded corners
where nothing ever grows. Pour your warmth
on the pale and the seasonally affected. Radiate
and call forth from hiding, the green armies
of life that rise and swell and salute your light.
Fill the cold winds until they twist and return
as warm and gentle breezes. Shine for those
who cannot shine and to chase away the others
who create the shadows and lead with shade.
This is all you can ever do, and it is enough.
