Stars glitter above us
hanging like ornaments on velvet skies,
we reach within our minds to join
the universe shining on.
In dreams we float on silent seas,
ripples move us forward to horizons
beyond our reach, but never so far
that we cannot close our eyes
and find ourselves everywhere.
We all shine on.
Sparkling souls conjoined in unity,
those who love and embrace the joy
of each second that ticks by,
bestowing the gifts of bliss.
We hold out our hearts to raise the bar,
higher and higher we seek to be
light of mood and laughter found
all around.
Who doesn’t love the sight
of glittering rain or snow falling down,
when lit from the fire within
our souls spin happily
and a song on the mind plays on,
Guaraldi’s fingers play softly
the tune we hum along
with a child’s smile.
At work yesterday I heard a Charlie Brown Christmas song from Vince Guaraldi. My heart filled with joy and a smile hit my face and I twirled around humming along as a few customers chuckled. Light hearted moments and sparkling things…shining on. Keep calm today my friends and don’t forget to shine on in your own happy way β€
I’m so glad you took time to twirl around and enjoy the moments! The Charlie Brown songs are always special to me, too. β¨

That soundtrack has the same effect on me. I think it stirs the child in our hearts, since its something many of us have heard since we were little π I entirely agree, SHINE, whenever, wherever π

It would be good to hear how you ‘read’ your words. I struggle with MCS (Mislaid Comma Syndrome).
The words are lovely, and the image of you, at work, dancing gracefully, are wonderful.
Take care, and live the dream.
