Shine on

Remain thoughtful not thoughtless

For every moment spent in emotions

Grants us the ability to empathize

Feelings we’ve felt

Within, and outside,

Without the fear of pain

 Do not fear pain

Let it go

In each embrace

In warmth

Encompassing us

Given not demanded

Relax in the comfort of acceptance

That which we give

To each other

Let go, take hold of me,

And shine on.
