The Shine Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Like sunshine, we all have the shine in us
Not to be confused with a profuse display of materialism
The shine is an inner beauty that oozes into other people's hearts
The shine is a display of joy that is far richer than the moment
The shine is an exhibition of petals of happiness
It's only through our open hearts that we can truly see our true selves
The shine is a mirror that reflects our true state of being
The shine is not only a sacred substance of being
It's an intense light sipping from the garment of Love
The shine is our personal protective clothing
To help us manoeuvre in a world full of wickedness
The shine attracts goodness and abundance into our lives
The shine is a source of warmth in a cold and desolate world
The shine is a substance of the spirit
That helps us grow stronger in our spiritual pursuits
The shine is the Light that illuminates our path
Giving us hope in times of darkness
The shine in us is a gift
For those who are committed to loving others
Regardless of race, colour or social status
It's important to find your Light
In these times of uncertainty
It's a source of joy, strength and power
The shine is a fabric of the spirit
An exposition of the substance of Love
