The Ever Afterglow

Life is a rocky landscape

It’s a battlefield shorn by love

It’s a pockmarked desert

It’s caverns of hope

It’s the skies raining down from above

Life, it’s luminous

if you let it

And if you don’t

Dark swallows you whole

You must uplift your life

You must seize it

You must grab by the horns then let go

For your life, you have to illuminate it

Center stage and ready to go

The curtain is rising—and now there you are

In life,

the ever afterglow
