Shine On

You can try

More than try

Succeed

To shine

Like the brightest

Sunniest

Warmest

Summer day.

But somehow

Sometimes

It still won't be enough.

Not everyone

Can

Or wants to

Be dazzled

By your light.

Some prefer

The dark.

Quiet

Calm

Dependable

Dark.

Night and day:

Both are beautiful

Wondrous

Needed

Desired

Valued

But are destined

To be apart,

Two halves

Of the same day

But

Always separate.

Always.

So shine on

Bright thing

Be light

Be warmth

Be glorious

Summer

And

Leave the dark

To its calm

And peace

And winter quiet.

 

 

(Yes, sometimes I write poetry. I wrote this one a few weeks ago. Sorry it wasn't the more fun and rhymey sort this time around.)
