LIGHT

When the hidden light starts

to bring itself to life
don't leave it shimmering,
but burn it strong and bright
inflame the frozen depths of mind
and leave the shell of yourself behind
hold it in your arms
while it burns away the skin
reveal your new eyes,
awake the voice within

now use it well, and use it loud

let the open view give color to the sound
then tremble in the harmony of divine
and paint a new landscape of your life

devour your cancer even if it means

destroying the picture you see yourself in
all that matters is what you can be,
be brave, embrace the future, and not what might have been
light, make me be
light, make me be
light, make me be
alive...
