Self Existent Light

Why depend on external things, when it's all within? Your power, your radiance, and hope therein. Navigate the highs and lows, without fear, You're worthy, more than enough, let that be clear. Rise up, open your eyes, and soar high, You're the guiding star, lighting up the sky. This special gift won't lose its shine, Guiding you towards heights, so divine. It brightens your soul, illuminates your mind, Your inner light, a beacon for all humankind. Self-existent light Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
