I WANT TO SHINE BY MY OWN GLOW

Impatience in nerves flow

Anguished heartbeats to n fro

Desire to win over the world

To smolder more within

Rise up high like flames

Now aspirations intensify more

Determined to get dissolve in ME

TODAY I WANT TO

SHINE BY MY OWN GLOW

Yearning to break free

The manacle of obligations

Wipe out they do not hold water

Tall tales of phony conventions

These precious moments passing by

Will never again turn back into vision

Now I want to believe in ME

TODAY I WANT TO

SHINE BY MY OWN GLOW

Savor this moment to not let go

Shed fears in your soul

They slow and diminish

The rate of knots

Impede aspirations to rise higher

Overcast my place in the sun

Geared up to behold strengths in ME

TODAY I WANT TO

SHINE BY MY OWN GLOW

Boost up the spirits

Let this zeal not die down

Rise up like a phoenix

From the quandaries

Thy progression will be the retort

Jinx will meander to sanctify

Divine will now melt in me

I WILL TODAY

“SHINE BY HIS GLOW IN ME”

Tameka said...: Manisha, I can see this recited in a circle of like-minded souls. Each taking a verse and saying it with their own meaning. Then lighting of candles and uttering of promises to hold each person accountable to their own truth. Wonderful read!
