SHINE ! a poem by Ande.s

         We were taught that the creator made two lights, one for the days and the other for nights. Now as I look up to the heavens all I see i a vast blanket of tiny reflections. The blanket is black, but these tiny reflections are rather too colourful to not notice that there is beauty darkness. Now

as I stare in awe of this perfect sight, there's yet another reflection that seems bigger and brighter than the first. It stood still in the heavens in its cresent shape and gave a blast of light so bright, so mild that for a minute I paused, took a deep breath and opened my eyes to see the fireflies in their splendor as they perched on the grasses around my feet. Then i realised that no matter what life throws at me : there's still light in the dark and I just will SHINE.
