Let It Shine

by Lindsay   Nov 11, 2011


Letting thoughts flow like naked whispers in the wind. Close my eyes and only I exist. Just me and the world. I have partook in its creation. I am the creator and the masterpiece. I am the grass and the sunlight that soaks in its blades. I am the love that pulses in a colourful array of water droplets unto every roof of every household. I'm that sparkle in the eyes of the people who's smiles brighten your day. I'm the breeze you feel gently grazing your face like the softest rose petals. I'm the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning. I am the freedom that is in the heart of every child. I am the goosebumps that run up your spine from every delicate touch of your lover's lips. I am the glorious tears you shed from too much laughter. I'm the melody in that voice you love so much. I'm the warmth that dances on your skin like butterfly kisses. I'm the ever-changing colours that illuminate the sky and leave you breathless. I'm the hope that nurtures your dreams.
And then...

I open my eyes. Staring at the gentle creases in my fingers, seeing the light reflecting off my skin like sparkling fireflies, I realize that I'm merely human. But what it means to be human is far beyond the embodiment of a soft, tender flesh. Within each of us is love and light that burns brighter than the sun. Within each of us is a world of emotion stirring excitement at the surface of our ingenious minds. Within every cell of our bodies lies the blue print and knowledge of all existence. My eyes are open, but I am still the wind in your hair, the song of the birds, the drum in your veins.
