under the sky
full of blue,
warmth of the sun
on my skin.
the Light
shines within,
always forever.
even when
days get shorter,
clouds return,
hope grows dim,
a fire still
burns
deep,
forever within.

look up,
keep your eye
on the sky.
watch, wait for
the birds above,
two eagles soar
over and around.
their strength,
their might
point you to see
the same gifts
inside
you and me.

remember
these moments,
these days,
these birds
in flight.

remember
the gifts
as words
to feed the flame
till the fire is back.

hold on tight
to the fact:
the Light
shines within,
always forever,
even when
you think you lack.
