Our own Suns

We are all jaded reflections of our former selves;
Imperfect, flawed and wanting
Fading slowly into who we will become;
Dreamers, lovers and philosophers
Our tomorrows are distant silhouettes of beings within
They lay patiently, urging us on
In the shadows where they rest waiting for their turns to be seen
To be heard to be loved
So go kicking and screaming in to the night
With eyes wide open and tongues tied down
Let your souls do the listening and your hearts do the talking
For you are the sun that shall shine light unto your tomorrows
Realize that you are the pinnacle of life
Behind you are yesterdays and yesteryears that lay claim to what has been
And before you the future unfolds its delicate petals so touch it gently
Sing the songs your lineage and ancestors have written on your back
And sing a song for this 6 billionth wonder of the world
Because the I in my mind is the only one of its kind
Just as the I in your mind is the only one of its kind
