Love Shines
Starlight
Starlight
Starlight shine on me
Moonlight
Moonlight
Moonlight shine on me
Sunlight
Sunlight
Sunlight shine on me
Source of all light, shine down
Source of all light, shine down
Light shines and darkness flees
Source of all light shine down
Source of all light shine down
All light shine down on me
Hope shines
Hope shines
Hope rises in me
Joy shines
Joy shines
Joy rises in me
Love Shines
Love Shines
Love Rises in me
Source of all love rise up
Source of all love rise up
Love Shines and darkness flees
Source of all love rise up
Source of all love rise up
Source of all love rise up in me
Love shines
and we are free

This song keeps circling back to my heart
especially when I can't feel it any more
or don't think I can sing it again
It carries a truth
about a deeper reality
something radiant
that cannot
be destroyed
something glorious
that shines beyond
all human suffering and sadness
and I have tasted
deep suffering and sadness
and walked with others who have tasted a sadness
far beyond my own
and yet
it is like a melody that I can only faintly hear at times
a sweet smell that is calling me home
an awareness that deepens if
I open my heart
this radiant
force
is
Love
I believe
that
Love is Shining
even in my (our) deepest darkness
even when we cannot feel it, taste it, or sense it
it doesn't matter
the reality
remains
Love is Shining
May hope rise in your bones
May joy rise in the depths of your heart
May love shine in the beauty of your soul
this day
and in all the days to come.
Merry Christmas
