Shine you Shine

A poem from my Spirit to your dear Sister.

Shine your Shine you ain't got forever
It's a fleeting moment between is and was
I don't want to go with my shine
Buried in the ground for maggots to know
Do you know you got shine?
That you got to give yourself permission
To shine your Shine all you want and need?
Why would you stark your shine in your belly?
Hide it in your heart?
Be grumbling all day about others shinning?
While you see how well they thrive
By shining all the shine they got and more?
Come on love, no shine at your funeral
Can replace the one you could have shined
Do it for yourself, it makes you healthier
And sure happier and oh so loveliest
And while at it, be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU.
