Be A Bright Spark

Though this world is dark
With the egotism of man
Everywhere
Throughout the mundane greyness of every day life

There are sparks of beauty
Sparks that give us a view 
through the foggy blindedness
Of man's vicious fight for life and recognition

Sparks of every colour
Personality, religion and race 
Some are a close part of our lives 
But most are strangers 

The random chance 
The right place at the right time 
And the rareness of them 
Makes the meeting of a spark 

All the more of a priceless treasure 

Some have the light of compassion 
Some possess great understanding 
Others true innocence 
Or a gentleness that heals broken people 

Some have the ability to judge honestly 
And still love you anyway 
There are those who use their gift of knowledge 
Only for the goodness of others 

Those whose calmness 
Eases the mighty waves of terror 
And those with genuine generosity 
Who would give you their last morsel 

Some with true empathy 
For those who can't get up from the gutter 
A random word of kindness 
Given when most needed 

A friendly smile 
That makes you feel like you matter 
A helping hand
That pulls you up when you've fallen 

So many different sparks of light in a day 
So many colours they give us 
To chase away the shadows 
The smog in our minds 

Rainbows that touch us 
As we move through time 
Lighten the weight on our hearts 
And open our eyes to the beauty around 

Look for the rainbows and crystals 
Colours in our misty lives 
Appreciate them 
And be grateful for those moments 

That we got touched by one 
And the world lightened for you 
No matter how brief 
Or how expansive 

Your heart will be softer 
Bringing a smile to your face 
Which gives light to others 
Who can't see in the dark 

And you too become one 
You spread the light 
One of the crystals and rainbows 
Brightening up our world
