I wrote this a while ago; it fits well with this blog.
"Prismatic Life"
Beauty of hidden colors revealed delights my soul:
I love the real and imagined, our light and our darkness
How we shine, so brilliant, so inspiring, so alive!
I imagine a paradigm shift:
From a world caught up in
Unhealthiness, disconnection, hatred and fear
To a world that is safe and beneficial for us
To choose kindness, compassion, honesty, responsibility,
Interconnection, generosity, creativity, discovery, hope,
To care, to love, to shine.
Can you imagine?
Can you see?
Can you dream?
Can you love?
If we all did, maybe someday
The world would be safer, more supportive, empowering
For a way of life of that is sustainable, just, fulfilling,
For dreams to become reality.
If you can, would you choose
To imagine, to see, to dream, to love?
What can we do?
What do you imagine?
What do you see?
What do you dream?
What do you love?
Look deep into your soul and see the beauty there
Embrace your truth, your love, your passion
Know you are not alone, you are strong, we are strong
And shine!

This poem was a combination/modification of several other poems with the same theme. I managed to capture, in a relatively concise and fluid form, my worldview and "vision" of how we can transform ourselves and our world: through imagination, connection, and appreciation.
To "shine" is to let the best of ourselves be expressed in our actions. I mean it in the sense that the Indigo Girls mean it in "Let It Be Me":
IF THE WORLD IS NIGHT, SHINE MY LIFE LIKE A LIGHT.
lyrics to "Let It Be Me"
sticks and stones battle zones a single light bulb on a single thread for the black sirens wail history fails rose-colored glass begins to age and crack while the politicians shadowbox the power ring in an endless split decision never solve anything from a neighbor's distant land i heard the strain of the common man let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light well the world seems spent and the president has no good idea of who the masses are well i'm one of them and i'm among friends trying to see beyond the fences of our own backyard i've seen kingdoms blow like ashes in the winds of change but the power of truth is the fuel for the flame so the darker the ages get there's a stronger beacon yet let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light in the kind word you speak in the turn of the cheek when your vision stays clear in the face of your fear then you see turning off a light switch is their only power when we stand like spotlights in a mighty tower all for one and one for all then we sing the common call let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light
