Incandescent

We are spun from the same starlight. 
We are shells that echo the ocean.
See past the mask of a thousand nightmares.
See the glowing signs of the soul within.

We can be a spark that lights dimmed hearts.
We can be incandescent, if we want it.
We can be guardians of the spirit.
We can be instruments of delight.

Let us shine,
Let us gleam and reflect,
Let us flash with brilliance.
Let us shine.

Generosity of spirit,
Agápē, philia, storgē, and xenia.
These types of love will be shared.

Let us shine,
Let us gleam and reflect,
Let us flash with brilliance.
Let us shine.

We are the spark that lights up dimmed hearts.
We are incandescent, if we want it.
We are guardians of the spirit.
We are instruments of delight.


And now these three remain:
 faith, hope and love.
 But the greatest of these is love.

We are spun from the same starlight. 
We are shells that echo the ocean.
See past the mask of a thousand nightmares.
See the glowing signs of the soul within.
