Bask In Your Own Glow

I write upon the fluttering pages of your mind, My words of hope to make your spirit soar: Reveal your inner light and charm, When dark gloom and grief sows Seeds of despair, never let them your soul pursue and grow; pluck them out and away you throw. I write upon rustling leaves of your thoughts that flow From the tree of your heart, my words anew To ease your unease and repose: When dreadful storms do harm Your mind's cool ocean, let pearls of peace cast ashore, And help you smile at warm sunrise behind. I write upon those empty spaces that I find In your fragile heart, my words to implore You to be ever poised and calm: When endless waves of woes Try to inundate you, never let them drown you. Bask in the brightness of your own glint glow.
