You can say and do
Whatever you think
Would make you feel better
About your self and your circumstances
But you will not stop my light from shining

I am a star
That shines bright on many horizons
Across the universe
Bringing light and life
to the depths of oceans
And climbing to the tops of mountains

This body cannot contain
The expanse of my radiance
I can glow warm
with the orange flames of
A hundred candlelabras
I can kiss the darkness
Of the night sky
and shimmer into worlds that go unseen
With out my touch

I am an angel of light created
In the image of the One of Universal Light
The daughter of a king
Healer of shadows
So forgive me
For not playing frivolous games
with you
When I have
A whole world
That needs the light
inside of me
That you try so hard to dim
