The heart that shines so intently during any night
is one struck by the ethereal match of God's enduring flame,
to radiate with love's starry splendor spreading as a sunrise's rays,
being a healing torch that reaches into another's crevices,
bringing forth the pure golden incandescent within,
exposing the scars and wounds seen to the warmth of a divine fire.
For wherever the soul discovers its candle,
shall it ignite with compassion to care beyond one's life,
shines outward with its own special shimmer,
one so vivid in the illumination bringing hope
unto those lost in a crippling maze of shadows.
Within the lamp sleeping in the spirit
there is the oil filled by Heaven's spout,
which always glows when burning to give more brightness
than it seeks for oneself.
We feel its touch first in our own darkness,
it becomes a passion to express it as a beacon and give life,
eyes forever having new vision through its blaze,
able to see in the faces once ignored in mental blackness,
the beauty, which one can't help wanting to cherish and preserve.
