we say candles light
but not that the room darkened
countless stars shine bright
yet space had never faded

glow would not be known
when there’s no gloom to be shown
flowers and rainbows
mere myths mortals blown

what’s nine clouds above
when one had never suffered
how can the heart love
if it was not once shattered

don’t be surviving
till sun shines on your tombstone
get busy living
far beyond your comfort zone

if you had not grown
no gods can bring you the throne
for life is your own
it is yours and yours alone
