To the chaos in this world
I will not let you in,
I will speak peace in your presence to remind you of what calm feels like.
A vision of marigold and crimson stained autumn leaves dancing in the wind,
Seemingly moving just for you
To the rhythm of your own heartbeat,
To the hatred in this world,
I cannot let you win,
I will not see the world painted in disdain or loathing,
I will love!
With a passion that will open even the hardest of hearts
To remind them that there is no greater gift than the feeling of love
Like vibrant powder painted skies kissing the sunset goodbye,
So graciously awaiting its return in the morning.
To the cold in this world
I will embrace you
I will lift you to the light
To show you
That warmth still exists
You must only reach for it
To the fear in this world,
I will help each person you have scared to understand they are in control,
That those scares do not define them
I will teach them to be an editor of their own script,
Cutting you from all the scenes that you dare to invade
I will have the courage to be the light that encompasses the room
Making suffering feel out of place
Shining even more so when the darkness fights its hardest to plague me.
