Let It Shine

Let it shine
like dawn spilling gold across the quiet earth,
like laughter breaking the hush of sorrow,
like a candle defying the vast and endless dark.

Let it shine
not just in the sunlit hours,
but in the storm, in the stillness,
in the spaces where shadows linger.

Let it shine
not because the world demands it,
but because it was born to glow,
to warm, to guide, to ignite.

Let it shine
even when the wind howls,
even when doubt dims the flame,
even when you feel like flickering out.

For light is not only what we see,
it is what we are.
So rise, glow, burn bright
and let it shine.
