Inner light

Love yourself,

you are worth it

do not ransom your soul

to belong to a world

that does not see

or acknowledge

your inner depth

The ancient master said it well :

the snow goose does not need to bathe

to make itself white

neither do you,

just be yourself

For who you are

my love

is divine

even when those around you

seem offended by

your particular spectrum

of radiant colors

of the bright and illuminating way

in which

your authentic inner light

shines
