Hope is one I cannot live without. She cradles me as I sob on my knees, scraping them on once-holy ground, now tainted by blood and hate. In the dark, she guides me, a beacon of light where none exists. 
Those who have felt it know its impossible now to forget. How consuming the darkness is  yet we were not done, were we? We still have our time left,  our strength to move on. "Come, Consume me," I say.
I am going to live I am going to run with the stars and Scream at the sky   James Joyce will hold my hand And we will walk in a connected world As the trees mutter a familiar tune  
Rakish reflections pass from an Aging streetlight to grace your cheek; The soft touch of that fragile golden glow Compliments the green looking back at me   The smell of smoke is fast asleep
I need the light Whether it's form is in friendship, love, happiness. I crave the warmth that  encases me when I'm with it. The light I mean.
We live in a society of possessions, wants and needs flow into one as we cling to items claiming we have to have them to survive.
Lurking in unsual places  Often hard to find, Shining bright on strangers faces  with grace it falls to the blind, Making doubters optimistic Showing things in diffrent light  
Even though you can no longer see me Look at the sun when it rises Look at the moon and stars   Even though you no longer feel me
The man who saved me If your world is darkIf your eyes are weary and your heart heavy If you feel alone and forgotten If you feel like your mind is an enemy and it attacks you with more ferosity than a starved man whom you've stolen his last penny
Of the nails on the cross through the hands, All I need is the blood of the Lamb. Of the Light piercing the Darkness, All I need is the grace of the One True King. Of the penetrating power of his might,
  If you see me drown alone See me standing on my own In a world of complications I have intricately sown   If you hear me in the night Shedding tears over a loss
      Darkness Is when all your senses Are barred behind a high stone-walled mentality   Darkness Is when your conscience Is unaware of reality   Darkness
A heart can be corrupted, Suffocating under the malicious hand of darkness, Its armor chipped away piece by piece By the thoughts that torment our souls,
Like a drug it takes you overAnd it never let's you goYou try n' get away from it, but it never gives you up  
I love that you stand taller than me your soul  is the closest thing to heaven I've ever felt God knew that so he built you accordingly  
You were thereMy beginningYou helped chase the shadowsTrustI gave it to you willinglyI give it you stillI will never regret itYou showed me powerA love I had never seenUndying
In the midst of chaos stands a lone rock. This rock doesn't waver nor does it speak. It just sits there, before the fray and watches. Everything around the  rock, leans forward
In life we are given many tokens of worldly greatness,Staring us in the eyes through a mist,A dark fog with nowhere to see anything in front of us,Except for those objects that are inanimate.
Calm and graceful, Fluttering in the wind Their attraction to bright colors Of flowering plants Their life span so short, Yet their wisdom so great Beautifully inspiring                             
"The shadows are long The shadows are dark They always lurk They leave no mark  The shadows are big The shadows are deep The shadows fall As the world sleeps The shadows return
I strive to be the tree Who stays rooted with gentle strength I strive to be the wind Formless and ever present I strive to be water Able to become any situation I strive to be the bird
  Here in the garden, kaleidoscopic. Here where I took and ate, saccharine. Here she was born.   Let me go  Please stop it.    My veins crepuscule. Eyes dark  Lips dark
A blanket of time covers our eyes. Fire rains down from the sky and water grows from salt. We have shifted. Fallen. Fast and deep into nothing save for imaginary realities.
the boy had fingertips made of pure white flames back when the walls were closing in, i was unrecognizable my own skin had an elusive disguise it was drenched in icewater
the boy had fingertips made of pure white flames back when the walls were closing in, i was unrecognizable my own skin had an elusive disguise it was drenched in icewater
I dug myself a grave in the ground It was like 60 feet down For years I'd walk the edge Then one day I fell like a rebound In that dark that was musky too Though I was alone I still heard the "I NEED YOU"s
We hope to see trees in bloom we hope to see them all we hope to see afternoon we hope to see night fall we hope to see beauty come we hope to see life knew we hope to see the moon run
In the darkness I heard a voice, It wasn't screaming for help, it was asking for someone to join them. I never understood why this was. It wasn't until after her that i realized no one wants to be alone in the darkness
Does pain really cease? Or is it a mere conformity? Does darkness provide ease? Or simply consume the light we no longer see?
The darkness Surrounds me knawing at me and saying "come, come" The hands  r  e  a  c  h for me but I stand firm. This will not happen My thoughts circle rapidly. 
Humans naturally fear the darkBut welcome light,A bright spark,A flameHowever, light often leads to painFor it illuminates our wrongsAnd we are visible and transparentAll our sins apparent
Young King, Stand here with me as we face the darkness And as light seems to fade and the shadows rise Fear and hopelessness take hold And as my strength weakens I feel the end come near, only to be
Just move off into your world Just leave this world behind Stop picking up the pieces of an old broken life Follow the Light Walk in it! Walk in Him.  Let Him shew you the way
On the forbidding ground I lay, As the trees above me sway. The clouds above me roar with thunder; Don’t wake me from my dreamless slumber.   I feel a hurricane is near; It’s so hard to not feel fear.
He can never be predicted He even brings the mighty king's down from their Thrones   He is never impressed by their Titles the king's get or for the Status these earthly king’s hold.  
Unlike any other,   I can not settle with any color,   I can not choose one passion over the other   I think that they complement one another.   Only in    Light  
I am light Soft and beautful, resilient and bright I am a guide through darkness an aid with no strite I am neither her nor there, but simply everywhere Caught between the battle of wrong and right
Cavern. Plic. An endless cavern. Plic. Plic. Upon first glance, there is only darkness. Plic. Plic. But to those who wait... To those who listen Plic.
The air is stiff, as if the wind is holding its breath,  and there is a coolness to the air, soothing, calming, peaceful. The grass is soft from where I'm sitting, as if inviting me to stay and enjoy the moment.
Where do i stand   All my life back when my mom was still alive she would always notice my brother and give him what he wants i was 8 he was 16 he was bound to college i'm still bound for nothing
With summer laze and winter days we wend our ways  in the silence of the night. And creeping still, thoughts mill amongst the dying of the bright. But what comes will be and what be will comes
Whiskey-colored rays of light coming from the window dragged me out of bed.
I don't have a grand life Every night isn't filled with parties and friends Most days I enjoy my own company  walking in nature feeling the wind blow throw my hair and between my  fingertips
Once destined to be forgotten in darkness To not recieve any sort of hope But instead was abandoned by all Until one day a miracle happened   A hand reached out to me
Tick Tock the clock mocks straight from up ahead As I lay, Time keeps pounding down upon my head. My head lays heavy on the dark blue sheets of my bed No matter what I do sleep is something that I dread.  
Some days, the night comes too early           But others, too late I wonder why the crickets begin their song While I am still dancing At dusk, the critters come They bite and buzz and light
Somewhere on the highest mountain
Over the mountains Across the seas Through the tunnels Under the trees The wind blows here   All over the world The voice is heard The wind whispers “Caution, Danger is near”
There is so much to give and so much to do. Don't let anyone ever hurt you. You are beutiful and perfecty inperfect in your own and uniqe ways. Show the world who you really are and what you are capable of.
I am different. Not in visage, nor style, nor walk, Not in avocation, nor mannerism, nor talk, But in hope and dream and state of mind.   I am different In that The radioactive waves of lies
Isolated with my thoughts, dwindling into emptiness Wishing there was something to rip the pain from my chest Breathing becomes more difficult as my eyes begin to swell
I feel so alone
Though the Darkness surrounds
Gracefully I dance
Deny the light you are given for it is precious and given without sacrefice. It rises for you daily, untiredly. Again and again it rises for you, yet you deny its wonderful gift.
The world spins around in shades of black All around my head my own thoughts betray me, planning their attack I wish I could scream Or wake up from this horrible dream A never ending feeling of floating
The Sun   She brings us life and joy; despair Her silent song a covenant of care– Our faithful servant in the air   A gilded messenger, inasmuch:
Seeking Light  
~Lumos~   There once was a time when all was dark, Where all who feared feared his mark. Those who fought him died, And those who ran away, cried. They dare not speak his name,
earliest rays find the absent spaces, to peak in a window pane eyelids fight the disruptive rays, but bouncing signals in the brain awake ghosts departe, the darkness dispersing in primitive light
I’d rather stare At fireworks in the evening, Than a dark tear
Blood is shed by the hands of men, Deep scarlet runs through the streets. When did this form of genocide began? With blood, human hands are streaked.   It seems as if everyone has lost touch
    Radiance emitted from beyond this cage, made palpable through a hole tiny in size, seemed to quell my rage fear let assauge, curiosity continuing to rise I set off to
Although pain is ever present, And sorrow never ceasing, Light by the sun is always sent, Happiness ever increasing.   No nigt lasts forever, As the earth and all its glory
Golden light spills out of the sky  and into our laps Our laughter rings 
When the land is dark And all is lost I strain to see The light following me But it is there And always will be   That light shines So bright, you see Is hope
the moon's like God's flashlight for the lost in the night sky; like God's spotlight to let you know he sees you and that you're a super star in your own right with your own light; like Heaven's porch light to let you know
I look at the walkers Zombie-esque Seeing all the magic
Guarded by scales   
He walks at home in the streets alone a lone light Glimmers as his day starts to fade a satchel for his car and a lighter for his fuel he drifts off into another star evening
"Would you be like the others?", I pondered. It began with art and a hint of hesitancy. This was my thing. Our thing. And now you are here to share it. With us. One of the most magical days of my life
Follow me in to the great bright light Where courage knows no cowardice And fear has no place among the bold   Follow me in to the rich golden light Where dreams are achieved
Pink, Fluffy, Swirled world.   What shall we call this, This creation? A sunset.   It's wonderful, Some could say, Perfect.   Far from it dear,
Lord, let me be more like you
The Raven and The Light   The bird that flys in the night, you shall call him crow. I may call him winged king. The name beats in my heart.
  Heavens Rain   I do not know If my skin will ever be as clean as others seen But i dream to let go of a constant stream..  Aesthetic symmetry floods me 
My thoughts I cannot find
What if i told you there is hope? What if I told you there is an end? Would you believe me?
Lights on   Lights off. Then
Are you afraid of the dark? Of silence Of stillness Of nothingness The vast emptiness U try to make out shapes in the blank space Can you see it I see everything

As a child, the world around me seemed bright,  The vibrant hues of nature and life Intrigued me so with a blinding light That masked the toils and strife. Through art, I found myself,
I suppose we all know one day we'll die to some of us that might sound like a sweet  relief For others it may be a biggest fear.  For some, Life has been hell For others much better
This sadness. I feel my chest being crushed ever so slowly. Pushing harder and slower. Farther and lower. My heart throbs like a beating drum before battle.
Behind the filter I am Sylvia. Behind the likes and "thumbs up" I am Lucy. Before the mascara I am a daughter. Named by my free spirited parents' Name sake of shimmering light in the forest. 
In the darkness i will wait
In darkeness, there is light. In the rain, there is sun shine.  So even while I'm unable to grasp the pai, my mind is at ease.  For even through death is life.   
I am of flesh I breath sin I keep to myself what lies within   But do express And I'll give you notice When storms draw near I feel their closeness   Love one love all
 Ode to Darkness   You have existed  since the beginning  of time and for too many years and to too many minds have been misunderstood  
Sometimes the world is too much for me
The light that shines From the inside out It's beautiful-I have no doubt I see your light It's not like mine It's brighter, stronger All the time Can you see my dulling glow?
Fisad now broken, Not a lie to others, but to self. WhoWhatWhy Am I?
He is of romance, and a skillful painter, is the night,  
They say your eyes, When given time, Become accustomed To the night.   Though dark and eerie One great shadow, Night penetrated Glows to light.   It is a lie.
She is his sun Helping him find his way. After all the rain Falling in his world for so long Someone is here to brighten his day.   She is his white moon Saving him from an eternal night
A mind as vast as the universe, Can get lost in the depths of time. But pause, Look around at your company, For the stars will be your guide.
on the corner of Madison and Wells, a ghost with a gray cotton tee and tattered jeans saw my red lace dress and started deer hunting. he wasn’t timid, only lanky, and gripped the ground 
I know the tear soaked pillow all too well.
Light in the bright of Day. Makes for sadness in the eternal night.

Birth of Dawn   look down, breath's thick in your mouth,  drifting out like dragonsmoke. the grass beneith your feet,  damp with the crisp kiss of false dawn.
See the Light Watch its smile Across my sight Creating my style   My struggle you must Never understand But brush the Dust From this brand   Assist my comfort
I gave up a lot To pursue this love But now it seems That I was blind and dumb     I dedicated my life My entire childhood To pursue a dream
Let us arise swiftly Let our movements be done Abruptly  Like the wind  So that they may never catch us Us, We who lay in the shadows  Hiding in the darkness for we know no fear
Won't you hold me tight In the middle of the night Don't turn on the light Hold me with all your might You know it ain't right If we have a fight That seems to be my plight But your out of sight!
    Oct 5 2014   The sun is sitting on the crown of the trees just due east. Reaching her arms through its leaves,   Holding it. Like a mother hugs her child.  
  Little boy don't you see? This life I live isn't made for you nor me. For what I carry and for what I hold. This fixture you have of me, isn't the truth of what I told.   Little boy don't you see?
I stay positive for friends and foes. They're the ones who need it the most. I try to be the light of their lives. Just to keep them one more night. Alive. They need to know someone cares.
  All he asked me was not to cry
Curtains are pulled for protection To hide what we don’t want to be seen To shade us from investigation To protect us from reality   But is it any safer to be in the dark? To stay in just one place?
Exact image shown in a different light Image relected back to you shows you the way others view you.
I haven't always been this way I remember better days
What is hope   is it the thought of light  in the middle of darkness?
So I say goodbye to the daylight, To the sun I bid adieu,
I didn’t want the morning to come, The sun to invade my windows and brighten my room,
I want a
I look to you,Then to myself,Then to my life, Past wretched falure upon failure,Bewitched by hollow hopes. My love never was,It never should have been
For whome, This may
There is a land of radiance that shines
I was always the last person in line, the last seat at the back of the classroom, and the last person to speak.
I was one in the dark, you know? Following a pace Destruction was its face Tall and Slim Dark and Grim Too much to care.   The light Was too fair   My itchy ears
In a world full of chaos and hate, you wanna know what lifts me up... you wanna know what makes me smile... you wanna know how I am able to persevere,
I prize my gift from the sun, the smooth ebony blanket that trails in my path. It bears the token of my progress, like a toll booth of past endowments, always full of unanswered prayer.  
Heroes can only be stars If they have a night sky To shine against  But I never asked To be the darkness  
Let the ev
Fingertips slide across my lips, And joy floods to my soul. Blood rushes to my skin,  I blush away,  I feel the sin. Why on earth am I this way? Yearning and burning 
Sometimes the stars align just right To make a single point of brillaince so intense it leaves   a spot in your vision
In the distance I feel your heart,
Fear is a source of vengenance Powering all to ingnite in its glory We are weak and fall frail  We allow this to overcome our thoughts  Making us into something we never even imagined.  
Euphoric my soul has been marked Untroubled written on my heart No amount of sorrow 
   
You were a great mom You always did a good job You took care of me and my life And you were always a great friend When times had changed I became the mom I began taking care of you
That which makes me tick is hard to define Is the antidepressants stabilizing my mind? Is it the fear of failure or being left behind? Is the incessant tick tock ticking of time?
Flashing gems mount the noble crown  Dashing passions paint the milky gown  Pulsing plights sound within the hue-ringed hole  Convulsing fashions taint the beautiful soul   
Like fire cascading down the mountains . Setting  ablaze he trees. With the last spot of light to be seen . Enforcing a relaxed mood in the atmosphere. After a hard days work  
Humbled by pin drops Of dust And of fire Burning the darkness and filling the nothing Surrounding her, She closed her eyes and wished herself To a night where they couldn’t see her,
She looked more than stunning,
On the first night of our secret meeting we can ran wild like the wind. Just you and I and the moon. The moon shined so bright it rivaled the sun. Our sun, your light, my fire.
Walking down the street with tear in my eyes and you still have words to say to me? My head in the ground, dirt in my face and your still kicking me?
Darling, light that cigarette  Let the ashes fall  With them your dreams Cause tomorrow when you wake up  You'll realize we never met    Standing on that boardwalk  In the dark of night 
The devil is chasing me  Always has been  Since the day I was conceived  He tries to make me give in    Though there're many enticements  And many temptations 
So much energy, In one small space. Shining light all over the place, Bright and bold It takes the gold Lantern shine bright, all through the night.
In the overshadowing darkness where despair takes life and hope is nothing but a word. Where faith has no meaning and trust has fallen to sorrow. In the consuming darkness
Burdened,
What is hope Is it the illogical sense of knowing everything will be alright? Is it stupid Is it smart   What is hope Is it wishing something that you want comes true? Is it selfish
Here's one from several months back:   Weighed down by the mistakes of my past A pebble, a rock, a mountain on my shoulders At first I ran, regrets like quicksand sucking at my feet
You don't have to let them take you down. You don't have to let them turn your smile into a frown.
#what?   Why does this pressure just make me freeze. Why do I constantky watch myself in the mirrior instead of stick my head out of it's cage. All I want is to live my life outside these bars.
As we drift our souls into one,
The horses run free and the chaotic winds twirl  As the pyramids collapse and crumble Beneath our very hands
 
Primitive light envelopes the birch logs in heliotrope.  Autumn leaves adopt an auburn glint.  Crouched moon in the southern sky.    This is the place astronomers call Shattering dawn -   
I am stuck in a very confined place Where there are decisions I need to make But no one can understand my true face As I proclaim out loud “it’s a piece of cake” With these thoughts my head spins frantically
They have never known the peace that trickles
Summer rays burn,
There is a burning light Red and gold dancing in my soul A fiery passion kept in a cage Beautiful and powerful, but no need to be afraid  
Walk a mile in my shoes Then you’ll know what it’s like to choose Between making a life of your own and leaving the nest
  Dark laughs at the fight
A difference you are Making as a butterfly’s' phase in life.  
Once, I saw a white rose
The ever lasting candle is what the lord provide me , except i am the light not the wax.
I would that the sun were silver-gray
The darkness descends. Hello, my friend. Hisssssss. Remember the pain, remember the lies, Remember the feelings you disguise. Terrifying cold, the biting steel Running red so you can feel.  
Green and white clothes with a hat just too big, tiny yellow shoes waiting for the day.

Golden ray of light Tip-toes sparkling to the earth Turning dust to art
self inflicted pain I'm pouring salt in my own wounds. Stuck in the past; time doesn't heal after all.   Thoughts in your mind are constantly telling you You're not good enought to weak,

When life gets difficult, And your cup over flows, Things go haywire, Objects explode, Theres no air, No air, No air you cant breathe, Your brain cant conceive, Wrong, Wrong,
Honesty is all I would change maybe if we all could be genuine love would not be in vain if I could change the roles of honesty maybe a liar would feel the victims pain He lied to me that's why I feel this way
     
I don't know if
Marked by shades             Chained by judgment             Being blinded by false imagery             Colors of white to dark             Long plagued our kind  
Below The Heavens             Below the dawn of day             Hear the trumpet             Smooth and vibrant             A sweet melody  
Seek out the meadows             Upon this day             Into the night             Come out upon my sight             As silent as a ghost            
I sit by old candlelightin the dead of nightfinishing my workwhich has become an irk.Now I cravewhat is unattainable by day(unless you live in a cave).The succulent silence of slumber
There is a fire      that wells inside of my stomach    A raging flame   slowly burning every inch      of my flesh as darkness settles over   inching creeping
The throbbing pulse of the silenceMade immune to the deadening enclave of walls of stoneIn this captivity, but one soul exists And calls this asylum her homeOne lives and soundlessly breathes here 
   
Darkness is a fellow who doesn't believe in light They've never met, he claims He stares at me with eyes I can't see As if he is deranged After a time, he is so tired and dismayed
Twinkle Twinkle little starI do not know where you areAll I see is an expanse of blackAnd I wish all my stars would come back.

Cloaked by shadows,Enshrouded in mystery,You stalk through the night. The book is open,The fate unwritten,You search for what is right. 
My eyes flutter open
Darkness fell with innocence in tow The serene sky marred by gunshot smoke Signed by Death’s fiery signature And crossed with wails that frayed stable ground.
Slow like the morning sun rises The hourglass frozen Dawn passes a slow horizon
Everyone, everywhere love me, desire me Let me be in all of your wet dreams and fantasy men, women, all alike I need to feel loved and wanted. if I wasn't so careful I would allow

Violent screams, tears dripping from 
The dream to be more is a road unsure Desperate for change, it starts in me Dust off those words, those thoughts that torture The Light reaches out to set me free Take the stand and make it pure
Many of us have doubt when we see that God is taking too long to answer, many of us do not seek the kingdom first and wonder why all the other good things aren't coming we tend to lean on our own understanding which means not Trusting in the Lord
I feel you in my skin
These cold hands are stuggling  Can't get warm if anything I try and try again Only to get colder than The heart of this dead body walking I can't resist the coughing
I sit motionlessly, watching the bright rays of light dim over the horizon. I can hear the soothing sound of the waves striking the rocks, and the wet footprints running across the sand.
"SHUT UP!" "Go back to where you came from you wetback!" I stood there as their words pounded against my ears. I watched the teacher rip the two boys apart, fists and faces smeared with blood.

Today my light bulb blew.
A scent to clear the mind, A sound that can heal much, Blessed are those who feel the rain Without the sense of touch.
No matter how much I express myself and people sympathize to understand, there's still that part of me that's never really known. All alone. It craves to have light shed upon it,
A woman of Black gold, gave birth to an olive child, Strong and mighty was she to stand by a father who stood to just pretend. Made sure her little peice of hope in this world was warm, fed, and fast asleep everynight
Life. It's a journey. Journey. It's made worthwhile by love. Love. It began with a friendship. Friendship. It's a strong bond. Bond. Time together that you enjoy. Enjoy.

Sailing in the waters of which You wept, You sees a Light in the distant of the cove, a Light that Reality would refer to as a dead end.   The Light fades, then flares, fades,

 Maybe She Would Be Alive Today. If I Spoke Up And Said What I Needed To Say. If I Thought Differently and Choose A Different Path. Crazy Thing Is I Didn’t Think She Would Last.
With grace and power she stands there Light soothing hands with a maternal touch Gentle eyes that cut through glass and fair hair that falls upon her shoulders Dependable, she is everyone's crutch   
Little Candle burning bright, dancing on beeswax and lumber. May it light flicker so after I wake from my slumber. Her little blaze is gentle, warming me with ease.
As I stand here, at Ground ZeroI reflect on what happened all those years agoSo many bitter memories on my mindFrom the day I escaped with just my lifeI should be a dead man, I shouldn't be alive

  You whisper nonsense in my ear so soft, so gentle I listen closely to the cadence of your voice lulling me to contentment. You laugh. My heart soars. It vibrates through my flesh.

Writing lights the path of ever darkness A darkness that consumes all emotions Feeling has ceased, sight has ceased, taste has ceased Senses taken over by the evil A beast that knows absolute no loving

Nothing last forever, The oceans will dry, Leaves and flowers wither, Monuments fade, and men do too.   What is life will not stay, What is death grants only reprieves,
On the lofty, grassy hill I stand Facing toward the eastern dawning light Slowly rising, lighting the damp land Silence broken by the fowl of no flight
When born God gave children a precious gift, <br> Through open eyes a new world floods within. <br> When sunrise is near our light starts to lift, <br> But darkness is my eyes, my own vile sin.

Darkness It creeps around me It surrounds me Everything is dark Hurt and pain engulf me They rearrange my story There is no hope   I open my eyes to find a glimpse of something.

Terror and fright consume me: Light leaves and dark trails behind me. I am forever alone with no one near or close, In this secluded island, I stand morose.

Last year I drowned in the sea of darkness and lament So many mistakes I made that weren’t my intent The time I spent on that path made me blind To my friends and family that I left behind
It starts off slow, a tugging at the heart. A sort of deep ache welling up within the subconscious Something that cannot be expressed in words You see them talking, laughing, but not like they care if you see
The world is full of lies, greed, & lust; The simplest definition of the most of us, as compilation; We, not understanding how to be united as a people, have adopted racism;
The full moon, the dark sky. It never leaves my mind. It guides me all the way, through the twists and turns. You burn a mild orange now and again like that of the autumn color leaves.

Laugher, Delight, Pain, Fright, One is Light, The other is Night.
You thought you could escape. You will suffer as I have suffered. I am not what I was, I am what I will be. You will never respond.
Shapes and shadows in the night, When the darkness is chased away by light. A silhouette of two lovers walking down the street. Lit by the guiding lamps, that illuminate there way.
Can you bring light to the dark? The darkness creeps in holding fear and regret, Fear can grab you and take you away from you natural life. Regret will make you seem as if you’re worthless and have no meaning.
My heart shattered into a million pieces and the wind blew the remnants across the sky, So that they may shine like bright stars among the Heavens at night,
