I wrote this the day after the election, searching for hope in the dark sky and stars, inspired by quotes from Victor Hugo and Rumi. May we shine on.
Shine Again
by Madam Snowflake
History and suffering leave their share of scars
But what makes night within us
Creates stars
Yea, we’re made of stars
The wound is where the light comes in
Your wound is where the light comes in
Pain is there when life begins
You’ll shine again
You’ll shine again
My friend
Fear of near looming darkness
Rising up fast like a flood
Trepidation becomes a companion
A purposeful pulse in your blood
Your heart beats with blood
And that’s how you love
The wound is where the light comes in
Your wound is where the light comes in
Pain is there when life begins
You’ll shine again
You’ll shine again
My friend
Our obsidian sky
Is a blackboard lesson in time
Seeming minuscule light
Years ago, up close
Burned as wild, cosmic fire
Yea, you are alive
By wild, cosmic fire
The wound is where the light comes in
Your wound is where the light comes in
Pain is there when life begins
You’ll shine again
You’ll shine again
My friend
Your wounds and your scars
Birth a season of stars
Your wounds and your scars
Birth a season of stars
You’ll shine again, my friend
