When Your Heart Shines

When your heart shines
Your smile glows so fine
Like paying homage to ransom divine
Beating the ruins of time

Like passages of long ago
Applauding dreams before they go up in smoke
Your body sways to and fro
A glimmer of light flashes from underneath your clothes

When your heart shines, to yourself be kind
Do not lay heavy on strife
Take refuge from the darkness in your mind
For living in the present, is what matters in this life

When dancing with troubles, down rocky roads
Hasten to whatever makes you glow
Smile bright from head to toe
Your heart will be liberated with freedom, this much you will know
