Radiance
living with highs and lows as a fire sign
Radiant light, where do you go
when I can't feel you anymore
Where do you hide when I feel cold inside
Where do you rest when I've given my best
And when there's none left for you and I
Where do you really go to die
How does hibernation feel- where nobody can steal
every last sparkle from you, whether you wanted them to
Or whether you were hoping to burn slow
Your true nature- it's hard to know
'Cause when you're restored and at full power
the energy explodes and blooms like a flower.
Then it's hard to imagine a simmer would do
when I'm bubbling over like witch's brew
Filled with life, born anew
But if I ride those highs, I must ride low too
Radiant light, shining inside
I know where you went- it's okay to hide.

There is a Thin Line Between Tears of Sorrow and Tears of Joy
I remember when my mother passed away. After the tears from the initial shock, our family sat in the living room and shared memories. We talked about her love and compassion toward others, the lessons she taught us about honesty, and how she taught us the importance of respecting ourselves and others. Then we started sharing memories that made us smile and eventually, each of us began to relax and tell stories that made us laugh.
