My heart is as open as a book with a broken spine
For that, I feel outside the norm
Like the sun I invoke a colourful spectrum of vibrant light
Like a prism I refract that light onto others
There is no colour without light
There is no pride without first understanding
The impact our own light has on the world around us
I am light; I will always share that light with others
Effervescent, I am known amongst my peers as bubbly
I strongly believe we all carry this light
My soul, like yours, is a myriad of spirited lights
Full of colours and might
Together, our souls can blend
We can create miraculous colours
Colours this world has never seen
New colours that speak to us so strongly
Because they are our own
Because they came from deep within ourselves
They would spark us to chant unison so purely
Purely enough to be heard and echoed by the masses
To start a revolution is never easy
It takes a chain reaction
Starting with the light inside of me
Igniting the light inside of you
Eternally forward this will propel humanity
We are the universe exploring itself
We are sun, moon, stars and rainbows
We are what lies within and what lies in between
We are both what is and what isn’t
We were born to learn, to vibe
Born to grow to understand one another
To make connections, to build communities
To build upon each other
To love every aspect of oneself
To love every aspect of another
To understand why we are here
We must understand why we love
Why we hope, why we keep on trying
Why is it so difficult to give up when life is so tumultuous
We are and will always be
Light reflected back on ourselves
We are mirrors for ourselves
We are mirrors for the ones we know
We are mirrors to strangers we cross paths with
It is not always easy to be so pragmatic
Our emotions get the best of us
My emotions get the best of me
I feel so strongly
I ache for this world
I ache for my brothers and sisters
We are all one and the same
Connected after all
People say I have a kind aura
“Approachable” they call it
Strangers approach me all the time
The wounded will always recognize a healer
I will always give myself to service
Service of others is service of self
In my experience, you get what you give
Why restrain, why restrict
I paint my life with every colour imaginable
I want my image to feel within reach to others
Every soul can have access to mine own soul
For they are me and I am them
I can open up to all life has to offer
Living fully is the only way to truly live and let live
To love and be loved
To be present for yourself
To be present for others
I struggle daily with turmoil that haunts me
I must remind myself vigilantly
To be centered in the now for it is all we ever have
To be at peace with today for tomorrow is never certain
Be whole at this time since the past is never repeated
Every moment has its time
Every moment was once perfect
Perfect for then and there
Because every single current moment
Is just perfect for the here and now
Nostalgia is a fickle friend
It grants you joy one instant and sorrow the next
Peace in one memory, turmoil in another
Remember to enjoy every single moment
The journey is key
The destination is only a new beginning
We ebb and we flow
We cycle through this world
I embrace change
As change is my journey
Change brings me growth
I am light and I am dark
I ebb and I flow
Every aspect of me is paradoxical
Every part of you is a paradox
Every aspect of this life we lead
You guessed it; paradox
That’s how we will always remain
A mystery to both ourselves and to others
A vibe that can only be felt through interconnected love
The frequency of interconnected love is high
So high all planes of existence can feel it
Every single being can know it
They can be it and live it
Without awareness, it is still present
Without belief, it still rings true
This is the ultimate universal truth
The one all the dogmas have always told us about
The one thing we can all agree on
We are all one and the same after all
From nothing we rise
To nothing we return
That’s why I choose to live my life in service
Through service I live many lives
I leave an impact on various souls
I share myself with others
I give myself to their efforts
We share in success and defeat
Highs and lows
We live through them all
We become stronger despite it
We become stronger because of it
We love deeper and deeper
We learn that love is the only real answer
Any question can be answered with love
I am love, love is I
I am bursting at the seams
What I feel cannot be contained
I bare the colours of my soul for all to see
