Considerable Shine

It's only

For the good of us
If we aren't

Open to ethereal
Beauty

And considerable shine

The sky would darken
The rain would fall

If we aren't open
To our exquisite
Lives

And our considerable shine 

Poorly won
Fought in war

Lost forever
Into the black hole

We don't decide
Who stays and fights

And inevitably we lose

Our considerable shine
